Our Short Let vs Buy to Let Calculator compares the annual returns from short-term letting against traditional buy-to-let for landlords who already own their property.

​

This calculator is designed for existing property owners evaluating whether to switch from long-term tenancies to short-term letting, or deciding how best to utilise a property they already hold. It estimates net pre-tax profit and yield based on property value, number of bedrooms, and current mortgage costs. The calculator uses simplified operating profit percentages derived from our own portfolio experience, which consolidate all typical running expenses including maintenance, utilities, cleaning, council tax, service charges, and void periods. Mortgage rate assumptions are based on current averages for 5-year fixed-term FHL and BTL products.
