According to market researchers, the demand for holiday homes has been steadily increasing for the last few years.
io ko

It is not unusual for visitors to start thinking about purchasing a house or apartment in their dream holiday location.
at yt

(1) _____ However attractive it may sound, the idea of possessing your own, independently owned holiday home
uc uż

has both its advantages and disadvantages.

On the one hand, a holiday home means that you have a place you can go to whenever you wish, without any
Ed ez

previous planning or reservations. (2) _____ What is more, such a purchase is a form of investment. If the location
an rz

is attractive and the facilities well-maintained, the value of the property may rise year by year. You can also rent it
ill p

to other holidaymakers, during the periods you are not planning to use it. (3) _____ Finally, the place can also be
m no

treated as a retirement home once you have stopped full-time employment.

On the other hand, taking care of a property is a serious financial burden. The costs may include home loans, taxes,
ac ra

insurance and all the necessary, but often unexpected, additional bills. Although you may hope for some income
M b

from renting it out, most holiday makers will want to hire the place in peak season, which is the very time that
Po

you will want to spend your holidays there. Another problem concerns security as the property is likely to be left
unsupervised for months on end. (4) _____ Finally, sooner or later, you may get bored with visiting the same place
over and over again and start searching for a more exciting destination.
All things considered, buying a holiday house has plenty of advantages but also a couple of drawbacks.
(5) _____ Bear in mind, however, that apart from enthusiasm, they also require cool calculation and thorough
consideration so that a serious mistake can be avoided.
