Editor of A Place in the Sun magazine Matt Havercroft, and Peter Conradi, author of the Fly to Let Guide, while speaking about overseas property investors recommended a bit of forward planning before taking the plunge in the buy-to-let market.
Further it is very important to know where the cheap flights go which is the key, as this is a key element which will increase travel opportunities, both for the frequent flyer and the traveller on a fixed budget. As budget routes are clearly an important consideration when buying to let abroad, especially if the target market is a British holidaymaker. It is also important to have the back-up of good road and rail links.
The advice given by the experts should always be considered an important research result on the rental market in the chosen area to avoid unrealistic income expectations. The extra costs such as taxes and agents fees are also included. The people willing for such comfortable journey will make sure their tastes and expectation will be met in terms of items such as furnishings.
Planning and research is the important key. The cheap short-haul airline industry is flourishing making the target of environmental campaigners opposed to airport expansions and concerned at emissions. This in turn has seen politicians hitting the industry with more green taxes, the aim being to curb the growth of the industry. Some might also expect the result of higher taxes on flying, as in comparison with on gas-guzzling cars, would lead to a change in consumer attitudes. People could opt to fly less and take more holidays at home. The projections that continued growth in the airline industry will lead to more emissions may not be fully considering the potential for the industry itself to become greener.
It has been pointed out that it is right and proper that the airline industry, as a whole, is not in denial about aviation's impact on the environment and its contribution to carbon emissions, global warming and climate change. Further it was also explained that, while projecting a 100 per cent increase in airline emissions by 2050 on current trends, also noted that these will still only account for 2.5 per cent of the greenhouse emissions total by that time and attacked governments for making airlines what he saw as convenient scapegoats. The industry had plenty to gain from measures like burning less fuel, not least in cost terms, which was already being achieved by the practice of gliding descents over New Zealand and taxiing on one engine at airports.
New technology and new kinds of fuel, (perhaps the airline equivalent of the biofuels and hydrogen being used in hybrid cars now) may also help lower emissions.The potential of technology to deliver breakthroughs in this field remains to be seen. But if it does, resulting in more eco-friendly flying, the justification for extra taxes on environmental grounds will diminish. In such circumstances, any possible knock-on effects on the fly-to-let market will diminish too.
