There are in excess of 1.5 million second homeowners in the UK alone, and with ownership costs on the increase most homeowners look to rent their holiday home to offset these. So, how do you get your holiday home found amongst all the others, and how much effort will you need to put in, in order to achieve this? 

 

We generate enquiries and convert them to bookings for you. Our investment in real time on-line booking software, which we have used for a number of years enables guests to book on-line, whatever their time zone, any time of the day or night, 365 days of the year, so we never miss a potential booking. Although many guests reserve their holiday home on-line, we maintain a personal communication with every guest throughout the enquiry, booking and payment process and beyond. This personal touch is reassuring to guests that are a tad wary of on-line transactions and to any apprehensive holidaymaker and ensures they have a self-catering holiday experience that they wish to repeat and want family, friends and colleagues to experience. The personal service we provide is an essential element to building loyal relationships with our guests and owners alike and regular direct marketing to our vast database keeps a warm client base informed of new holiday homes, new locations, seasonal information, offers and ideas for their next vacation. 

 

As part of our quality control processes we ask all guests to complete an on-line guest feedback survey. Throughout the year we’ll pass on this feedback and work with you on an ongoing basis to ensure maximum occupancy levels. 

 

Our latest guest survey summary on 25th July 2011 showed 100% of guests would definitely book with us again, and recommend us to family and friends, this translates into more bookings for you. 

 

 

We will happily work alongside your appointed keyholder or yourself if you are hands on, or we will assist with sourcing a local keyholder should you require, and provide instruction. 

 

With many enquiries for temporary housing needs due to relocation, in between house purchases, insurance claims, property renovations, seasonal rentals or other needs, we actively promote monthly shortlets for durations less than six months during out of season periods for our vacation home owners as well as for owners of properties that would otherwise be empty, perhaps not selling, thinking of selling, or for owners not wishing to commit to long term renting, or second homeowners not wanting the increased wear and tear that’s only natural with the higher turnover of holiday rentals 

 

Standard household insurance generally will not provide full and adequate cover for holiday or shortlet properties. Guests these days demand well equipped homes and such items can be expensive. You must inform your insurance agent that you intend to holiday let/shortlet the property and ensure that you have adequate insurance for buildings and contents. 

 

You also need public liability insurance in case a guest has an accident in the property. It is advisable though not mandatory to cover against loss of income just in case you have to cancel any bookings due to urgent repairs.
