Survey: last opportunity to complete the survey below which seeks to identify trends in respect of furnished holiday lets (FHL) owners and properties.
The survey is completely anonymous and no personal identifying details are required. It will hopefully provide some evidence to support steps being taken to challenge the developing legislation in respect of the 182 days, or at the very least to prompt exceptions and exemptions.
