Rent Your Property With Us - Our Services for Landlords
Our relationship with our property Owners is a partnership. We depend on each other for success. You provide a top class property and a warm welcome and we offer our well honed marketing skills and faultless administration. As with any partnership, we can only succeed if we both share common aims and values. For us, and the Owners who work with us, these are to offer only the very best properties and the highest level of service to our guests. We hope that, having read further, you will agree with us and we can look forward to working with you.
Personal Attention
From your first enquiry, one of our Property Managers will be assigned to you to discuss all aspects of holiday letting and will remain with you once you have signed up with us. Each has extensive knowledge of the business and their particular region. They are always contactable during the working week.
Advice
We will advise you on every aspect of holiday letting. There is not much we do not know about our business but, if you do find a gap in our knowledge, we will help you to find the answer. On the first visit we will give you a full and honest appraisal of the suitability of your property for holiday letting, including any changes we would request before marketing the property. We will advise you on the right rent band to maximise your income, and will give you an estimate of the season length you might expect in order to arrive at a projection of your annual net income. Your Property Manager will also be happy to advise on other matters like design, decor. Once your holiday home is up and running, we will talk at length at least once a year to discuss the previous year's bookings and make plans for the following year.
Efficiency
An important part of the trust placed in us by Owners and guests alike is our efficiency. It is no use to you handing over all the administration if you still have the hassle of checking up on us. Intelligent use of our back office system ensures that we handle all the routine administration punctually and accurately. In addition, having an in-house IT team means that we are constantly developing and improving our systems. We also pride ourselves on attention to detail in every aspect of our business, from preparing property descriptions to dealing with a complicated booking request. Sometimes it can border on the obsessive, but we are very aware that we are dealing with your property and your guests' holidays, both are important and mistakes can be expensive.
Reliability
Our marketing conjures ideas of idyllic holidays, but the business end of renting a holiday home demands that the right money is collected at the right time, the relevant confirmations are sent and all the contractual details are covered. We take care of all that and make sure that the guests get full instructions on how to reach the property and get into it even if they are booking at the very last minute. We always stick to deadlines whether it is for a direct mailing piece or our monthly payments to you.
Transparency
You will receive a statement with every payment which provides a breakdown of each booking including our deductions. When you sign up with us you will also get automatically generated email confirmations of all bookings and payments along with the financial details of those bookings and the guests' feedback questionnaires as they come in.
Marketing of Your Property
The search engines are the heart of our on-line marketing activity which can be divided into two parts; the free listings (usually on the left in the search window) and the sponsored links (which are usually in the first few slots and on the right of the results windows). We have put a great deal of time and effort into engineering our site to be as well regarded by the search engines as possible and, as a result, we appear towards the top of the list of results returned for many of the most frequently used search terms.
Our Lettings department works with numerous leading internet portals and various print publications that target holiday makers, to ensure your property is advertised as widely as possible.
Costs for Our Lettings Service
We charge an initial £100 + VAT set up fee and 20% + VAT of gross rental. This includes preparing suitable marketing material for your property, finding tenants, arranging and managing bookings, payment collections and arranging contracts with tenants.
