Who’s Taking Responsibility For Your Property?

When speaking to an Holiday Homes Management company, you need to make sure who’s taking responsibility for your property.
Far too many Holiday Homes Management companies don’t carry out the appropriate checks or procedures on properties. When this happens, the landlord can end up with a whole host of problems.

Who’s Vetting Your Guests?
Your Holiday Homes guests need to be properly vetted to ensure the safe running of your property. Many Holiday Homes companies have no stringent checks in place to ensure your guests will behave and respect your property. Not having these checks in place puts your property and your investment at risk…

Property Damage
Unsuitable guests can be disrespectful to your property. Causing damage, leaving it dirty or in a disordered state.

Complaints From Neighbors

As a property landlord, one of the last things you want is complaints from your neighbors. Unruly guests who are too loud or disruptive can cause landlords problems with neighbors long after the guests have left the property. This can result in the landlord receiving a fine or even legal action.

Safety Hazards|If guests aren’t correctly vetted, they can engage in illegal activities at the property. Or they can bring in dangerous items that can put the property, and other guests, at risk.

Loss of Income
If a guest causes damage or leaves the property in an unruly manner, it can cause the property to be unavailable to other guests. This results in an unwelcome loss of income for the landlord. A reliable Holiday Homes Management company will ensure guests take full responsibility for damages and can withhold their security deposit or take legal action. Some Holiday Homes Management companies won’t have these systems and processes in place. Leaving the landlord with a huge bill and loss of income.

Property Inspection
Your Holiday Homes Management company needs to be responsible for carrying out regular inspections on your property. Often, management companies can neglect to carry out thorough inspections. When this happens, the landlord can face all sorts of issues and problems…

The Property Loses Its Appeal
If not inspected regularly, the property could fall into a state of disrepair. Losing the wow factor it once had and leaving guests disappointed and unhappy.

Bad Reputation
This can lead to bad reviews for the property and no return guests. Because of this, the property can soon gain a bad reputation.

Void Periods
Poor reviews and a bad word of mouth reputation lead to less and less guests booking to stay at the property. The landlord faces void periods and a reduced return on their investment.

Lowered Rents
Once a property has lost its hard-earned reputation and faces void periods, inevitably the landlord will have to lower the rents. Meaning a once high-returning investment starts to dwindle.

 Rules & Regulations
