Holiday Home Subletting

By joining our subletting scheme, you will be able to sub-let your holiday home with us whilst still also having the opportunity to use a caravan at any time for your own holidays.

We’ve found that by subletting your holiday home, owners will earn a small amount of passive income, which can be put towards your holiday home fees and running cost.

The subletting scheme is available to any holiday homeowner whose caravan or lodge meets the required standards. To be considered, the unit must be of a standard that meets our minimum grade level. Entry is also subject to availability.

Please contact Garreg Goch’s on-site team directly for more information.

To apply for the holiday home subletting scheme at Garreg Goch, please contact Phillip Key for further information and/or to register your interest in the subletting scheme.

This can be done by emailing Phillip Key at phillip@normanhurst.net or by contacting Garreg Goch Holiday Park directly.

Garreg Goch Holiday Park has operational control of the scheme and it is overseen by our on-site lettings manager at Garreg Goch Holiday Park.

No, in order to successfully manage our subletting scheme you must have agreed designated dates in a formal contract. This contract will need to be signed before the start of each season.

To try to ensure that the income generated is of a worthwhile level for both parties, the minimum time agreed must consist of; 6 full weeks in high season (or 8 short breaks), 6 full weeks in mid-season (or 8 short breaks) and 4 full weeks in low season (or 6 short breaks). This can be subject to some negotiation, depending on individual circumstances.

Details of the season dates and length of short breaks can be obtained from the office.

Yes, your holiday home would be considered as we can offer some flexibility in certain circumstances - just ask our Garreg Goch team for more information!

The company will clean the caravan after every let, provide and launder the linen, carry out basic and routine maintenance (chargeable) and look after the guests as we would in our own hiring fleet – including check-in and out and marketing.

Operating expenses as identified in the agreement are included, but there will be a 5% charge on the total annual income achieved to cover the cost of cleaning and laundry. There will be a ´per booking´ charge of £40.00 for cleaning the hot tub - if applicable.

You will need to provide the full inventory to meet the ‘platinum’ standard and you must ensure all safety testing is carried out (which is a condition of the licence anyway) and have public liability insurance. You will be responsible for gas and electricity usage and any repairs/breakages.

If you have a dog, then your holiday home will be identified as a ´Pet Friendly holiday home’ - which will allow guests to stay with a dog in your holiday home.

The commission rate (including VAT) due to Coastdale will be:

Low, mid and high season 35%. There is also a 5% cleaning charge and hot tub cleaning charge, as identified above.

Based on one of our parks, the following is a reasonable example of a Lodge Unit without a hot tub:

Low Season 2 weeks and 4 short breaks

Revenue = £3120.00 – commission and cleaning charge (£1248.00) = amount to owner £1872.00

Mid Season 4 full weeks and 4 short breaks

Revenue = £5760.00 – commission and cleaning charge (£2304.00) = amount to owner £3456.00

High Season 6 full weeks

Revenue = £7200.00 – commission and cleaning charge (£2880.00) = £4320.00.

These examples are based on full occupancy for the minimum periods identified in the agreement, with VAT levied at 20% (subject to change by the government at any time).

No, there are no guarantees because it depends on how busy the park is and how many weeks you have made available for letting. However, the dates stipulated have been designed to provide a good opportunity to receive a reasonable level of income.

There is the Annual Pitch Fee, which is dependent on the pitch and Tier level that the unit occupies, gas and electricity testing, TV Licence and Insurance (including liability) and any major repairs or damages. Also, other operating costs as identified above.

You must also subscribe to the LPIS wifi system as this is a condition of the agreement and the cost of this can be obtained from the park office.

The letting income will be paid to you at the beginning of January (at the end of the previous letting season). The pitch fee will be deducted from all monies due to you and any remainder will either be paid as a credit to your account or paid to you by BACS.

It is your responsibility to declare this income to HMRC as may be appropriate.
