Enjoy More Holiday For Your Money... by lining the pockets of someone who owns a holiday home!
Rightmove Campaign: Have You Switched Yet?
Rant alert!
This is just some spam that fell into my mailbox this afternoon from the Glorious Rightmove, so apologies if it doesn't quite fit the criteria for "news".
I believe it warrants consideration since this seems to me to be the rich (i.e. 2nd, 3rd, 4th homeowners, etc.) renting out their holiday homes for the times it would otherwise be empty for, er, probably most of the year?
Don't think I'd personally be comfortable renting a home in a location where its own sale had contributed to the further impoverishment of the local population due to rising prices forced by... 2nd, 3rd, 4th homeowners, e.g. Devon springs to mind.
In the future these years will be remembered as The Stupid Selfish Era. I can only hope that cash-in parasitic firms like this will fail, epically.

HolidayLettings.co.uk have been around for years now, it's nothing new. I can understand having moral qualms about renting a holiday home in e.g. Cornwall; although personally I think it's better to see the house rented out rather than sitting empty.
There's certainly nothing wrong with renting a cheap villa in Spain or a gîte in France. Thanks to the property glut in Spain, this summer you can rent a villa for a fraction of the cost in previous years.
