Scottish property investment: The year-round money maker 

A holiday investment opportunity in Dumfries and Galloway has the potential to be a year-round money maker.

There may be some reluctancy to invest in the UK holiday lodge market due to the uncertainty of weather during the summer months and the effect on demand. While Scottish summer lets have grown in popularity by 22%, autumn and winter lets have increased by almost double that, with 46% more interest last season than in the previous year (Scotland Staycation Index 2021).

When investing in a holiday lodge in Dumfries and Galloway, the seasonal limitations that may apply to other areas of the UK, such as Cornwall, may have less of an impact.
