In fact, an investment in holiday property can become a commercial property when certain income limits are reached. In both cases, the question of whether this constitutes a second residence is easy to answer. The situation is different if the property owners use their holiday home for themselves on weekends or during holidays and rent it out during the rest of the year.

Consequently, the industry is increasingly aligning itself with ESG criteria (Environmental, Social, and Governance) to ensure properties are eco-friendly, socially responsible, and economically resilient.
