What to Know about Short-Term Letting in Dorset

The financial and regulatory landscape for holiday lets in Dorset and nationwide is undergoing a critical transformation. The most significant change is the introduction of a 100% council tax premium on second homes from 1st April 2025, effectively doubling the annual bill for properties not operating as a commercial business.

This makes it more important than ever to professionalise your letting strategy. To avoid this punitive charge and qualify for business rates—which could reduce your liability to zero through Small Business Rate Relief—your property must be let commercially for a minimum of 70 days per year.

Partnering with an expert manager is the most effective way to ensure you meet this critical 70-day threshold, protecting your investment and securing its long-term profitability.
