Blackpool Holiday Zone, what does it mean for Blackpool Hotels and Guest Houses?

Andy — 2010-04-16T14:59:09+00:00

Area's of Blackpool hotels have been rezoned by Blackpool Council, defining an official area for tourism and accommodation in Blackpool. This has caused a massive uproar with Blackpool hoteliers as the council have created these zones, somewhat ignoring pleas from current businesses trading throughout the area.

What does it mean for Blackpool hotels? Well it’s difficult to say as the council try and defend their actions saying that current hotels will not suffer. However, can this be trusted when certain streets and areas will be open to redevelopment of housing, flats or more likely HMO’s?

HMO’s are the main concern for the current Blackpool Guest Houses in the affected roads, such as Palatine road in Blackpool. HMO’s in Blackpool tend to attract DSS tenants that can live unsociable hours and aren’t responsible for maintaining rented properties. Whilst the council may have the best intention of imposing restrictions and guidelines so not to degrade the area further, do they have the necessary manpower & legal knowhow to ensure that street savvy developers don’t exploit loopholes and basically rent to whomever they like?

It has been suggested, that the value of Blackpool hotels on some of the affected streets has been halved with this news regarding the new zoning. This leaves some hotels wondering whether it would just make more sense to convert the business back to a house and rent or sell as flats. This in itself would mean a large investment to do so.

After a phone call with Blackpool Council regarding the Invest In The Best Grant Scheme, decisions have been put on hold until the elections now to determine whether Blackpool hotels outside of the zone will be eligible for grants.

Why are the elections even a factor, when in the previous breath, they ensure that ‘current Blackpool hotels will not be affected by the rezoning'. Clearly it could!

Blackpool hotels will suffer if the Blackpool Illuminations close down!

Andy — 2009-11-23T12:00:33+00:00

Blackpool Council put £500,000 towards the illuminations to make up for the lack of donations it has received from hotels and other businesses. Last year, £33,000 was donated by local businesses to just £23,000 this year. At one point the donations topped £110,000 but this has slowly declined over the years.

If Blackpool Council made good on the suggestion on closing the illuminations, then would this be the nail in the coffin for local hotels in Blackpool and other businesses?

It is no surprise that the illuminations period is by far the busiest time of the season for Blackpool. Although the income in cash received to support just the illuminations is lower than ever, the money spent in the town is the result of this period. Is this just a scare mongering tactic to force businesses into digging deep into their pockets and help support this event?

Should Blackpool Council decide that the £500,000 is not worth investing each year, then it would be argued that this would be short sightedness and detrimental to the town’s heritage and interest worldwide.

Blackpool hoteliers and other businesses would be at risk, sinking further towards the red and Blackpool could face an unprecedented number of foreclosures on the high street.

Instead of lashing out talking about ‘what if we close’ kind of discussions, there should be more business focus on what the attraction brings each year and how to quantify it. To simply turn off one of Britain’s major attractions because of a balance sheet mentality just highlights the same argument of ‘what have Blackpool Council spent the taxes on over the years?’

Support the illuminations if you have a business in Blackpool by all means, but you already pay high council and business tax rates. So instead of the council increasing these further, questions need to be asked as to where the money has gone in the past, and the plans for it in the future.

The history of Blackpool is evident throughout the town and the same mistakes don’t want to be made over the next 50 years.

Own a hotel? Part 2, another 10 ways to save money

Andy — 2009-11-20T17:41:00+00:00

11. Revise your availability to the minimum nights stay at peak periods. Why let 5 different guests into one room, when you can have 1 guest stay 5 days?

12. Consider a recognised national accreditation unless your business is already well placed in the market already and wouldn’t benefit from the value awarded and increased exposure on the internet.

13. Business Banking is a competitive market and there are various deals out there. You can get free banking 2yr deals which don’t involve that much work in setting up.

14. Energy suppliers are an unfortunate necessity, but make sure you are not on an outdated tariff and ideally don’t get tied in for too long.

15. Mortgage repayments, similar to energy suppliers. Make sure you are on a scheme that suits your business. Try to organise your payment schedule to get the lowest deal off the bank. Ie. If the bank charges extra for ‘season only’ repayments, then organise your finances to use the standard monthly system.

16. Taking credit cards. Although you pay for this scheme, the money is in your bank within a few days earning you a little interest. Banks usually charge for handling cash or cheques anyway unless you have signed up for the free banking scheme.

17. Deposit / No deposit. Tied in with credit cards, you can take deposits quickly and in advance of bookings. Try not to make your terms and conditions too stern though such as cancellation periods otherwise you may put potential guests off.

18. Do some or all of your own washing. In season, how much do you spend sending off towels and pillow slips at the laundry?

19. Consider reusable soap dispensers instead of packets of soap that are wasted after each room tidy/clean.

20. Service with a smile! Strike up a good relationship with your guests so that they will book directly with you in the future instead of through agencies where you will pay commission.

How can you sell your Blackpool Hotel?

Andy — 2009-11-17T13:05:01+00:00

Are you trying to sell your hotel in Blackpool? Are you listed on the usual estate agents in Blackpool but haven't had anyone step through your door to see your property? According to the Blackpool Gazette, £73m worth of Blackpool hotels are currently up for sale as of this month. Even though Blackpool is booming with the credit crunch situation of the UK and the weak Euro, more hotels are putting up their for sale sign.

You can and should do more yourself. This is vital if you really want to push your property to the front of your estate agents queue.
What can you do? Check to see if you or your estate agent has covered the basics as follows;

1. Pictures, Pictures, Pictures! You need quality pictures that are taken in a professional manner with the correct lens, lighting and a tidy non cluttered view. This is exactly the same when you are selling rooms on a daily or weekly basis for your trade. There are rarely enough quality pictures on a typical high street estate agent advert, thus limiting the people from seeing your business. Would you buy a new car based on a postcard picture and bit of text at the bottom of it? Surprisingly many businesses are basically advertised in this manner.
2. Accounts. Are they in order and do you have a good trading history? If not, explain properly why not. Buyers looking to buy a Blackpool hotel often have no experience and as such may find it daunting to consider anything without a long and successful history.
3. Will you help them when they move in? This goodwill gesture can be a clinch point. It is common for a handover to be one weekend, quickly rushing through the hotel. How about helping daily for month helping until they are confident? Plus being available for months after to answer those points that always come about for the first year.
4. Is your hotel competitively priced with the current market conditions right now? As nice as your hotel is, 6 bedrooms will always have a ceiling on what it can earn over a 12 bedroomed alternative.
5. Interview your estate agent. Crazy to say, but estate agents roughly charge 1.5-3% depending whether it is sole or multiagency. Would you feel bad paying an estate agent £10,000 if they have not covered the above and much more and it takes 5-10 years to sell?
6. Look around the internet yourself on where to advertise. There are many more options than the local estate agents which can catch a much wider audience than the local agencies. You could also save massive commissions by doing this.

This topic is huge and vitally important if serious about selling. It is rarely researched enough by hoteliers who expect that by listing at the usual estate agents will supply enough prospective purchasers. In this current climate, this is more and more unlikely. Really examine point 6, and find some hotels listing outside of the usual channels. See what YOU would buy if you were in the market for a hotel in Blackpool and maybe they have some of the points listed above covered.

We sold our property using Blackpool Hotels For Sale. A listing costs £99 with no other hidden fee's. You can write whatever advert you want, as long as you want, and with 20+ pictures. They even offer a free picture service. They will also link it a Blackpool hotel booking site if you wish to bring in more bookings whilst you are still trading. Good luck with your next venture.

How will Blackpool Hotels be affected by the redevelopment?

Andy — 2009-11-13T14:34:19+00:00

The Blackpool Hotel industry is under fire at the moment with proposed changes to redevelop areas of Blackpool. If approved, roads such as Crystal road and Shaw road in South Shore Blackpool will be demolished and the area re-classified for new businesses or housing. Why are the Blackpool Council shooting themselves in the foot by reducing the town’s capacity for guests?
Well we are no longer in the 1950’s and people do not rent swimming costumes on the promenade anymore. Instead, we have families coming for a day trip or a short break and the volume of holiday makers, although high in numbers against other resort towns, does not warrant the large number of hotels (which run into the thousands!) that Blackpool has on its books.
Why some hotels and not others? Unfortunately, the council cannot change its mind because one hotel on that street decides to stay and is doing a storming trade. Hopefully if the system is fair, they will usually receive a more than fair offer leaving the owners to consider their future about possibly buying another hotel.
For the visitors of Blackpool, the downside is that they will be exposed to continuing development of buildings, sea defences, road layouts for the foreseeable future, but as they walk around the corner, hopefully they will appreciate a new completed structure in front of them.
I would argue with anyone who says that Blackpool does not need this work. To be honest I would love to know where the money has been spent by the council since the boom years of the 50’s. Why is our comparable sister Brighton not in the same position as us? We can’t put it down to the fact that Brighton is closer to London alone?
The website for Reblackpool is designed to explain the various development stages that are in place. For sure some Blackpool Hotels will be closed down and new ones opened increasing the competition, however what it should do is bring an extra boost in trade as new developments entice businesses, new events and new types of guests as well as cater for the existing ones.
Hoteliers that are in the mind set that this should not happen I would love to discuss with, as what is the alternative?
