A Smart Investment

Lodge Finance Case Study 02

A Prime Location with Potential

Jim and Sarah Johnston are a couple in their 30s, living in Manchester and working full-time, recently purchased a lodge at a well-established holiday park just outside St Andrews, Scotland. With a keen eye for opportunities, they were drawn to the park’s prime location, which attracts both golfers and visitors, offering significant rental potential.

Security and Strong Returns

The lodge came with a 50-year lease, ensuring long-term security, and had the potential to earn over £1,000 per month during peak times. With these prospects in mind, they saw the purchase as not just a holiday home but also a solid investment.

Flexible Financing for Immediate Results

The lodge itself was priced at £145,000. The couple, eager to make a sizeable contribution, used £45,000 from their savings as a deposit. To fund the remaining £100,000, they chose a secured loan with a 15-year repayment plan. This approach allowed them to keep monthly repayments manageable while ensuring they could generate a return on their investment immediately.

A Decision Worth Celebrating

The couple couldn’t be happier with their decision. The lodge has proven to be highly popular, delivering consistent returns while they enjoy the peace of mind that comes with owning a valuable asset in a sought-after location.
