[QUOTE="Puff, post: 7117551, member: 70980"] Start with a builder to give you a rough quote as it may cost more than you realise to get it ready to let. I (personally) would get PP sorted out as well because if the worst comes to the worst, you may get sued by someone for something you've not done correctly. In which case, you can either draw up your own plans or get an architect to do so. An architect will probably make life easier as they will (should) know everything that you need to consider. Once you've got PP, get building. In terms of marketing etc, I would suggest a beauty parade of the holiday rental companies quite early on in the process. Even if you don't go with them, their reps will know the local market, what people like/don't like, help you on decoration ideas etc and potential revenue - ask lots of questions of them, they're keen to get you signed up so learn what they know. See what they say about hot tubs, they might earn some more but they're a pain to look after/maintain and it may be that the target audience for hot tubs is not the ones you either want or would be interested in your location anyway. Try and find a usp for your place. [/QUOTE]
