Is investing in holiday properties in Poland profitable?
The pandemic has changed the rental market quite a lot. Although more and more people are spending time abroad, domestic trips constitute the largest percentage of holiday trips. According to statistical data from the Central Statistical Office "Tourism in 2020" In the whole of 2020, 18.8 million tourists used tourist facilities. The number of overnight stays provided to tourists in 2020 amounted to 54 million, including 6.7 million provided to foreign tourists. The largest number of overnight stays was recorded in the following voivodeships: West Pomeranian, Lesser Poland and Pomeranian. Per 100 inhabitants, the largest number of tourists used overnight stays in 2020 in the West Pomeranian voivodeship.
There is a growing interest in accommodations with less than 10 rooms, agritourism places experienced a boom in the 2021 season and due to the ongoing pandemic - it seems that intimate locations will continue to gain in importance. More and more Poles are eager to use holiday homes, as evidenced by the unwavering popularity of the Slowhop platform, which records up to 550,000 visits to the website per month. Holiday homes have become competition for hotels, because in times of sanitary restrictions, they are the only alternative to crowded resorts.
What should you pay attention to when choosing a property?
- Of course, location is always the most important thing. This is still the most important factor in the success of our investment. Statistics show that the highest occupancy is achieved by properties located in locations considered year-round and located near the beach, mountains, tourist trails, attractions. The location of the property itself is also important: the view from the windows, the surroundings, nice neighborhood.
- The second element is the range of services that the Client can use during bad weather, including in the property itself, therefore the quality/standard of the equipment and the range of services inside are important.
- Rate of return on investment. Condo hotel offers guarantee a fixed rate of return of 6-10%, however, from this percentage you have to deduct operator costs, service charges, repair costs and tax. You can consider renting the property privately, but this task is absorbing and requires constant involvement of the landlord.
A year-round recreational home is an interesting alternative for people who want their own place, where they can spend weekends and holidays and use it at any time without restrictions and a rigidly defined calendar of "owner stays". In such a case, the investor has greater freedom of decision, starting from the interior furnishing, setting the amount of service costs and the amount of rent. Owners of surplus capital can fulfill their dream of owning a recreational property, thanks to the offer of ready-made prefabricated houses Domki Marysia .
Modern, intelligent, ecological year-round houses with additional infrastructure.
A wooden house in the style of a modern barn fits perfectly into the concept of Letnisko. For the convenience of our Clients, we have designed buildings in three variants of surface area: 50, 70 and 120 sq m. The houses are characterized by spectacular glazing, facades made of larch wood, roofs can have integrated photovoltaic systems, thanks to which we can additionally save on electricity consumption. The Grenton Smart Home System allows remote management of heating, lighting, sound and building protection functions. Houses built in a full wooden prefabrication system are characterized by energy efficiency and modern styling referring in color to the shades of the earth / Baltic sand and sea. Depending on the taste and aesthetic preferences of the Owners, the interiors can be freely arranged, commissioning Domki Marysia to build a house in a "turnkey" system.
The year-round sauna and jacuzzi are a proposal to complement the offer and may constitute an extension of the attractiveness of the Facility's offer and thus increase the attractiveness of the location outside the season.
Rate of return.
Investing in a recreational home can have a huge financial advantage, due to the still small base of quality projects of this type in Poland. Even with an average season and occupancy of only 151 nights a year, our average annual rate will be 16%, which, with the simultaneous possibility of flexible use of the property, seems to be an interesting alternative even for long-term rental apartments.
