The number of people buying a hotel room as an investment has increased substantially this year; investors are taking advantage of the growing rate of returns and capital appreciation.

For investors looking to diversify their property portfolio, purchasing
a hotel room offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of commercial property in the heart
of Central London. Owning a GuestInvest hotel room is a hassle free investment and returns are achieved from a thriving London Hotel Market and not the property rental sector.

GuestInvest hotel rooms are classified as business assets and therefore qualify for taper relief and rollover relief. Taper relief is applied at different levels to reduce the amount of gain made from the sale of the asset that is subject to capital gains tax. The level of taper relief that you can qualify for depends on the use as either a business asset or non-business asset.

Any investors wishing to sell their hotel room can do so like any other property on the open market or through commercial property agents such as Sotheby’s, Colliers International and Fleurets. The GuestInvest concept works well for investors looking to broaden an existing property portfolio.
