Property Management - This includes the following
services:
- Managing bookings and rentals
- Dealing with enquiries
- Providing directions and arrival instructions
- Issuing rental terms and conditions
- Holding damage deposits
An inventory of the property's contents will be completed and used when inspecting the property at the end of each rental prior to refunding damage deposits. House rules will be typed out and left in a prominent place in the property. Local and practical information about the property and surrounding areas can be provided for your visitors. We will leave our business card in the property so your guests can contact us direct if there are any problems during their stay.
Our charge for this complete service is 15% of the rental income and our fees will be deducted from the rental income and the balance will be sent to you after the rental period has completed and the guests are as far as possible satisfied. All property owners will be sent a rental contract for agreement.
Advertising Methods
This is one of the most important areas to ensure your property receives maximum exposure. It is possible to minimise costs in this area by opting to advertise on our website only, although additional advertising in national/regional newspapers and magazines is strongly recommended. Costs can vary upon your requirements and budget.
Internet Option
The
Internet has revolutionised the advertising of holiday properties.
Now you can show full details
of your property with full colour photos
to a truly worldwide market. There are many sites to choose from
and we can submit details to advertise your property on one of
the largest
rental websites, giving
you the opportunity to reach a worldwide audience. Advertising on
our own website ensures that each property will have its own property
information,
description and rental price. There is no fee for this if we are
managing your property rentals. However, if this is the only service
you require
a fee of 70 Euros pa will be charged.
Print Advertising Options
We can advertise
your property in classified sections of national/regional newspapers
and magazines. This is strongly recommended to gain maximum
exposure to your target audience. We will inform you when the advert
has been placed. Costs are subject to your requirements and one single
advert will be in the region of 35 Euros per week. We would recommend
that at least 4 adverts to be placed each year.
Through our extensive network of contacts in the UK, adverts will also be placed in large organisations.
'Pay as you Go' Cleaning
We will visit the property after each letting, or ad-hoc as requested by the owner or guest, giving it a full clean including kitchen, bathroom, utility checks, polishing, sweep & mop floors (including outside areas), replace toilet rolls and towels, change bedding, towels and tea towels. We can also arrange to be at the property before your guests leave to check the inventory, and to ensure no damage has been made to the property after which the damage deposit will be returned to the guests.
'The cost of the clean will depend upon the size of your property and the contents.
