The Business Salterns Holidays operates the day-to-day holiday letting business for both ‘owned’ houses and also the weeks ‘released’ by the owners of 20 neighbouring houses. This includes the central reservation, customer interface, investor relations, maintenance and housekeeping of all of the houses. In addition, the Salterns Holiday team manage the freehold estate. The key highlights of the business are set out in the marketing brochure. The Opportunity In addition to the incremental growth prospects of continuing the existing business, Salterns Village offers a number of future opportunities. This might include leveraging the existing management platform to increase the number of holiday rentals offered to the market either in direct ownership or on behalf of investors. Subject to planning permission, the number of months of use could be extended beyond the current limit of 8 months. The open spaces around the Village could provide an opportunity for camping, yurts and festivals. Finally, a buyer could sell the retained houses and/or the holiday rental business seeking a capital profit on the purchase price.
