Holiday let to be taken over by golf club?

Hello fellow hard-working property providers, We have a holiday let (5 bed 2 bathrooms) next door to where we live. Currently on Airbnb and doing well. Purchased by us (not in a company structure).

We’ve been offered the opportunity to have the (reputable) golf club across the road ‘manage it’ (still early talks but effectively sub-let it I’m guessing would be the best way to go). They want it for tournaments, wedding guests etc… handy for golfing holidays…

I, therefore, imagine from an insurance point of view that it would be us/holiday let seen as a business renting to another business. Are there any pitfalls ref insurance we should look out for? Any brokers who deal with this kind of thing?

Contract-wise, any good templates…. And is it a good idea? At the moment we can offset our mortgage payments using the holiday let tax relief structure… would that change?

We have managed long-term lets for years but this is a new one for me and I fear I may be missing something obvious…

By the way, is there a contract that allows us to use the property for a handful of days a year? And any clauses re noise/disturbance you know are robust. As you can see I’m all at sea….

Thanks

Maz

Reply to the comment left by Graham Bowcock at 01/08/2022 - 08:41I agree with that actually, but its essential imo that the contract is drafted or at least checked by a housing solicitor acting for the OP. Many have altered or deleted forfeiture clauses and other issues. Also important not to allow ghe club to set up an office in yhere ss this could turn it into a tenancy governed by the 1954 Act. Also Maz wouldnt have the protection of the Consumer Rights Act as this is a commercial agreement.
