    Buying a Hotel Room

    Has anyone looked at the premise of purchasing a leasehold on one of the Hotel Rooms in Mayfair I have seen advertised. They had adverts on the underground during the summer.

    I havent really seen anything else on it until I started looking for a cheap flat to buy in London.

    £99k, 21 Days for 45 year leasehold.

    Anyone know anything about this or do i need to provide more info?

      Mmm

      First of all, the baby hasnt dropped I was takling about some friends I went yo yesterday who have become baby bores.

      Secondly, I have no interest in purchasing a lease on a hotal room, I was wondering if anyone had looked at it as an investment and what returns it was supposed to provide, because to me it looked a straight ripoff.

      Mince pie overdose Milan?

          I know little about this(which is more than Milan) and was wondering if anyone had any comments(excluding Milan who will no doubt reply anyway as he has little else to do)

            MF, mate of mine and myself looked quite closely into this and came to the same conclusion that you did: there is little realistic chance of realising a return on your investment.

            One to avoid for the time being I think. The hotel room market is notoriously volatile.

              Notoriously volatile?

              Hmm,

              I've one hotel. occasionally it has had the odd room free, but not too often in the last 45 years.

                  I seem to remeber reading some time ago (about 3 years) about this type of thing and the conclusion was that you would not get a return on your money, unless you were very lucky.
