Why Now is the Time to Join My Getaways!
The short-term rental industry is evolving, and with the upcoming national registration scheme set to take effect in late 2025 or early 2026, big changes are on the horizon for holiday home owners. The good news? If you’re already working with Award Winning My Getaways, you’re in a prime position to secure grandfather rights for your property – ensuring it remains a profitable holiday let for years to come.
What Are Grandfather Rights & Why Do They Matter?
Grandfather rights, in this context, mean that if your property is already operating as a short-term rental before the new regulations take effect, you’re likely to be automatically registered. This means you can continue letting your property without needing to reapply for planning permission – regardless of any future restrictions.
For holiday homeowners who are already partnered with My Getaways, this is fantastic news. It means your property can continue to generate strong rental income, remain compliant with regulations, and avoid any disruption to your bookings.
The Risks for Independent Holiday Let Owners
Many owners who currently list their properties independently on sites like Airbnb may struggle to navigate the complexities of the new registration system. Without expert guidance, they may face compliance issues, additional costs, or worse – they may lose their ability to legally operate as a holiday let altogether.
This is where professional holiday let management comes into play. By working with a trusted vacation rental management company like My Getaways, you ensure that your property meets all requirements before the registration deadline closes.
A Game-Changer for Property Owners
Once the registration scheme is in place, the number of legally operating short-term rentals is expected to shrink as independent owners struggle with compliance or exit the market altogether. However, demand from guests isn’t going anywhere – meaning that the properties that do remain registered will see increased bookings and higher rental income.
With fewer properties available for short-term letting, those that secure grandfather rights early will be in a strong position to capitalise on reduced competition and maximise their returns.
Why You Should Act Now
There’s a limited window of opportunity to get ahead of these changes and secure your property’s future as a legally registered holiday let. By signing up with My Getaways now, you can:
- Ensure your property remains compliant before the registration scheme is enforced
- Avoid potential planning permission hurdles in the future
- Continue earning strong returns from your holiday home
- Benefit from increased demand as independent operators exit the market
