Can Coolangatta Sellers Rely on Holiday-Letting Income in Their Advertising?

If you are selling a Coolangatta apartment that has been used for holiday accommodation, be careful about how past income is presented. Historical bookings may help explain how the property has operated, but they do not guarantee what a new owner will earn.

A seller-focused campaign should separate verified historical information from forecasts and future possibilities.

Present past performance as past performance

Where income figures are being supplied, make the period and source clear. Distinguish gross booking revenue from expenses, management fees and the owner's final return.

Do not select only a peak period and present it as though it represents the entire year.

If a letting or management arrangement is involved, establish whether it continues automatically, requires a new agreement or ends with the sale.

Prospective purchasers should be encouraged to obtain their own financial, taxation and legal advice.

Keep the property sale broader than the income

A Coolangatta apartment may attract buyers for permanent occupation, holiday use or investment. The campaign can explain the property's physical features without assuming every purchaser will operate it in the same way.

Avoid advertising a guaranteed yield or future nightly rate.

Verified historical information can support the sale, but the property itself should remain the central proposition.
