You've got three options: keep paying it, sell up, or let it out. Let's work out which one's actually right for you — in one conversation.
Book your one-to-one — £169One hour. No pressure. No hospitality-business jargon.
You bought it for the view, the escape, the family memories — not to become a landlord dealing with strangers, cleaners and licence applications on top of your actual job. But the council tax has doubled, and the house has quietly turned from a pleasure into a line item on your "to sort" list.
You could Google the STL licensing rules yourself. Plenty of second-home owners have tried, and ended up stuck in council PDFs with no clearer an answer. What you're short of isn't information — it's someone to sit down, look at your actual situation, and tell you straight which door to walk through.
Carry on as you are, eyes open about what the doubled council tax is actually costing you each year.
Sometimes that's genuinely the right call. If it is for you, you'll leave knowing that, not still wondering.
Turn it into a holiday let — with a clear, done-for-you route through the licence and set-up, if you want it.
This session stands on its own — no pressure to buy anything else. If you'd like hands-on help getting your licence application done afterwards, that's a separate, optional follow-up you choose later.
Book your one-to-one — £169The rules are free, yes. Filtering them for your specific property and situation, without burning a weekend on council PDFs, isn't. You're paying for clarity and speed, not secret information.
No. The one-to-one stands alone. If you want help after with the licence application, that's something you choose afterwards — never pushed on the call.
This isn't a project — it's one hour that ends the not-knowing. And if the honest answer is "sell it," that's a useful answer too.
