A chalet rents for eight weeks a year. How do you calculate its yield without fooling yourself?
The season is an eighth of the year
Rental yield on the coast is earned in a short season — realistically eight to twelve actual weeks. Any calculation that multiplies a weekly rate by 52 is wrong.
The costs people forget
Annual maintenance is charged across the whole year, not the season. Add cleaning, management, and letting commission. Net comes in meaningfully below gross.
