Gain an income from your accommodation
We have an ever-increasing number of guests demanding holiday accommodation in Eastbourne and East Sussex – stylish properties, in immaculate condition, in the most sought-after locations – and are prepared to pay for them.
Our properties enjoy surprisingly high occupancy levels across the year, with both holidaymakers and business visitors. We would typically see levels at 60 – 70% and above, meaning that owners can gain a significant return on their investment.
Enjoy the tax benefits
of holiday lets over buy-to-let
There are many tax advantages for a furnished holiday let versus traditional residential rentals).
You can enjoy tax relief by off-setting the costs of running the holiday home (such as utilities) and also capital allowances for furniture and white goods (see the HMRC helpsheet for more information and guidance as well as information on qualifying criteria). Holiday lets are also exempt from the changes to higher rate interest relief on longer lets and, overall, can typically earn a higher return than buy-to-lets.
On 6th March 2024, the Budget included an announcement that from 1st April 2025, the Furnished Holiday Let tax regime would be removed. There will likely be a period of transition from that date. Technical guidance is due to be released shortly.

I contacted Exclusively Eastbourne while finishing the refurbishment of a property and then had to speed up the building works – within a week they had secured a 12-week contract!

Why you should let your holiday home through Exclusively Eastbourne
We are the local experts who really understand who visits Eastbourne and what they are looking for in a holiday property, but we also listen to our owners to establish exactly what they need (and each will be subtly different).
We pride ourselves on offering the most personal service with our small, local team, but complement this with professional, efficient support to our owners.
National operators might suggest they can offer you local support, but the reality is that they won’t provide housekeeping and maintenance. Holiday guests will demand immaculate levels of cleanliness and presentation so let Exclusively Eastbourne take the strain to ensure that your guests make the most of your holiday home. They’ll thank you for it with glowing reviews!
With over 20 years experience in marketing and PR we ensure that we target and secure both national and international guests through our wide-ranging and innovating marketing campaigns, meaning that you can enjoy year-round income from your property.
