The picturesque Cotswolds region has long been synonymous with charming country homes and idyllic cottages, making it a highly desirable location for both residents and visitors. For property owners, these attractive residences have often represented a sound investment, particularly through the Furnished Holiday Let (FHL) scheme. However, with recent announcements impacting FHLs, understanding the evolving landscape is more crucial than ever.

The enduring appeal

Indeed, holiday cottages in the Cotswolds continue to be a compelling investment. The region’s enduring appeal, driven by its stunning natural beauty, vibrant cultural scene, and strong tourism, ensures consistent demand. Property values in such desirable locations often demonstrate resilience and potential for capital appreciation over the long term. While the FHL tax benefits are set to be removed, the underlying value and appeal of a well-maintained Cotswold property remain strong, potentially shifting the focus towards stable, long-term residential tenancies as a highly viable income stream.
