£44,950

1. The “Cash Purchase” Advantage With an entry price of £44,950 , The Crest allows investors to deploy capital without mortgage dependency. This “cash-only” structure eliminates interest rate risk and ensures that 100% of the net operating income flows directly to the investor, supporting the developer’s projected 15% yield .

2. The UK Staycation Structural Shift Post-pandemic travel habits have permanently shifted, with domestic tourism (“Staycations”) seeing sustained growth. Newquay is at the forefront of this trend. The shift towards “Aparthotels” (self-contained units with hotel services) is capturing market share from traditional B&Bs, offering investors a more resilient income stream.

3. Tax Efficiency (Zero Stamp Duty) Because the purchase price is below the UK Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) threshold of £150,000 (for non-residential/mixed-use consideration), investors save thousands in upfront costs compared to traditional buy-to-let properties, instantly improving the ROI.
