How should my property be furnished?
Today's holiday makers are a very discerning lot. They expect as standard, air con, UK TV and the furniture and property in an excellent state of repair. And of course, the property and grounds to be spotlessly clean.

This is a very basic inventory to be used as a guide:

What rental income can I expect for my property?
No two properties are the same with many factors determining the rental income you will achieve.

Factors such as type of property, number of bedrooms, location, swimming pool, furnishings, distance from facilities, time of the year etc etc.
We will do a thorough research into the rental prices of similar properties in your area.
In this climate though, we really do recommend that you are competitive, even aggressive in the setting of your rental prices.

It is much better to be fully booked at 10% below your competitors than to be minimally booked at 10% above your competitors.

After all, the reason you are doing this is to make money, not to leave your property vacant.
Once we have agreed your prices, don't worry,they are not set in stone. We can always lower or raise them as the season progresses to maximise both your bookings and your rental income.
