While the Trust currently owns more than 500 cottages nationwide, this decision will see a substantial number withdrawn from the holiday let market.
Most of these properties are expected to be converted into long-term rental homes later this year, supporting local housing demands. Although a complete list of affected locations and a detailed timeline for these changes has not yet been released, this move reflects a strategic shift in how the Trust manages its portfolio.</description></item></channel></rss>
