holidaylettings.co.uk for more tips
on choosing your buy-to-let property.
PLaySaFE Before letting out your property there are some very important financial and legal considerations. It is vital that you comply with the necessary legal obligations and understand the tax laws in your country of choice before embarking on the holiday lettings journey...
1BE LEgaL Are you allowed, legally, to let your
property on a short term basis? Ask someone
other than the person or company you are buying
the property from.
2knOW thE RULES Check with a local
solicitor and the local authorities. Regulations
may vary on a national, regional and resort
level. Some countries require special licences
allowing you to rent out your holiday home.
3cOMPLEx SitUatiOn If buying on a
complex, check with the community president
that there are no restrictions on short term lets.
Check the complex / community rules, any other
rules that apply to you as an owner and for other
obligations you may need to make guests aware of.
4 gEt cOvERED You will need liability
insurance should guests injure themselves
whilst at the property; not forgetting building
and contents insurance.
5LOck it UP Check that your property
adheres to all of the security measures required
by your insurance policy such as specific door locks,
alarms or window locks.
6SaFE anD SOUnD Check your policy for
a minimum vacant period clause. For peace of
mind make local contacts or pay a caretaker
to visit your property regularly during the closed
season to check for burst pipes or dripping taps.
7tax aWaRE You will need to pay tax on
rental income from your property. The UK has
double taxation agreements with most countries to
prevent you from paying twice. Seek independent
financial advice relating to your specific country.

mass appealMaxiMiSED
innER BEaUty
Furnish with flair Use a high standard of
furnishing that will last longer and require less
maintenance whilst still looking attractive to
holidaymakers.
Appeal to the masses Select a neutral palette
of colours when decorating and use brighter accent
colours on accessories to maximise mass appeal.
Use a lockable cupboard to hide your own personal clutter and valuables when holidaymakers are staying.
accESORiSE
Think like a holidaymaker What items would
you expect or like to find in a holiday home on
arrival at your destination?
Consider essentials First aid kit (which should
contain no medicines), local emergency contact
details and a fixed position safe for valuables.
Blowing hot and cold Consider the climate;
kit your property out with air-conditioning and fans
and think about a pool and barbecue for hotter
climates or a log fire, and central heating or Jacuzzi
for cooler climates.
Family friendly If appealing to families think
about entertaining children with toys, TV, videos,
DVDs, board games and books. These items will
be great for keeping the kids happy on rainy days!
Also provide a high chair, stair gate and cot.
On your bike If the location is good for cycling,
provide a couple of bicycles to encourage guests
to explore the local area and reduce their carbon
footprint at the same time.
Pool play Keep a collection of inflatables and pool
toys if your property has a pool or if there is a
beach nearby.

More infoVisit our Owner advice area on
holidaylettings.co.uk for some useful family
friendly items for your holiday home.
The right price...hit thE taRgEt Identify your target market
given your location, accommodation type and
tourist demographic: couples, young families,
adult groups or large families.
PRicE WiSE Prices should reflect demand,
seasonality and quality. Look at similar properties,
what they are charging and when – then price
your property accordingly.
SPEciaL PROMOtiOnS If you have last
minute cancellations or empty weeks promote
these at a special offer price and advertise this
clearly so that people realise your property is
normally worth more.
Don’t over or under value your property: prices should reflect demand, seasonality and quality.
EvEn StEvEnS Calculate how much money
you need to break even and where you can afford
to be flexible in order to offer reductions.
MinD yOUR OvERhEaDS Consider variable
costs such as utility bills, cleaning and laundry
and factor these into your pricing. nobody wants
to receive a bill at the end of their stay for
‘hidden costs’.
gEt it Right Don’t over or under value
your property. Under pricing peak periods will
reduce your ability to be flexible on price in the
quieter periods.
1�holidaylettings.co.uk
SEaSOn Savvy
Peak or high seasons will
vary according to location, but
school holidays are invariably in
demand and your pricing can
reflect this.

FOR MOnEy
advertising online is more effective and better
value than print advertising and you tend to
get more space for property descriptions and
photos. Plus you can often expect to reach
audiences of well over a million holidaymakers
each month.
I get practically all my bookings through your website… I no longer use any other marketing. Thank you Holiday Lettings.
Lesley | home 112�6 | Spain
EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORYGood photography is the single most important tool for effective advertising. it may be worth paying a professional photographer, but if you do take the photos yourself try these useful tips:
1 LightEn UP Open the windows and let in plenty of natural daylight;
try to choose a bright sunny day.
2 LEt it ShinE Take external photos in good weather: blue skies are
much more conducive to booking a holiday than overcast days.
3 inSiDE anD OUt Try to strike a good balance between exterior and
interior shots: people need to know what your property looks like inside,
but they’ll be spending time outside too, so you will need to feature this
as well.
4 anti gLaRE Take photos with the sun behind you so that your
images do not suffer from a lack of contrast.
5 DUSk OR DaWn Daylight is most
complementary in the first or last few hours
of the day.
6 StagE ShOtS Think ‘show home’:
lay the dining table, put out a bottle of wine
and make the bed.
7 hiDE thE FaMiLy Don’t use people
in photos, so as to allow holidaymakers to
imagine themselves in the picture.
8 ShOW OFF Make your best features stand
out in your photos and highlight them in your
advert by adding captions.
9 FiRSt iMPRESSiOnS Photos are
the first thing online advertising sites show
and therefore the first thing holidaymakers
see. Use your best photos online and be
sure to use all picture slots available.
10 PhOtO WiSE Unless your bathroom
or kitchen are really something to shout
about only take photos that will really get
people in the holiday mood.
11 cLEan anD cLEaR Remove clutter
and clean the property.

Word perfectHere are some useful tips to help you write your
online advert to highlight the best features of your holiday home and entice holidaymakers...
2�holidaylettings.co.uk
BE cREativE Write descriptions of your
property and local area brimming with unique selling
points, emphasising what’s really great about your
holiday home. You know your property the best,
so use this knowledge to your advantage.
kEEP it RELEvant State important points in
easy to read lists in the body of the advert, but also
provide a good introductory paragraph that sums up
a great holiday at your home.
Keep your advert upbeat and exciting - show holidaymakers that you love your property and they will too...
kEEP PaRagRaPhS tiDy If paragraphs are
too long people won’t bother to read all the way
through, too short and people will look elsewhere
for the information.
cLEaR anD hOnESt PRicing Be clear
about costs and make them inclusive: if your prices
look low but don’t mention extras like heating or
cleaning, you may lose potential bookings when the
true cost is revealed.
DOn’t BE Shy Remember you are selling
the features and benefits of your property to
holidaymakers, so don’t be afraid to boast about
the best ones!
taiLOR yOUR tExt Customise information
about local attractions and facilities to your target
audience. They may not know the local area and
need the destination selling to them just as much
as the property.
BE EnthUSiaStic Keep your advert upbeat
and exciting – show holidaymakers that you love
your property and they will too.
DOn’t USE caPitaLS It looks like you are
shouting and is much harder to read. You need to
come across as approachable through your advert.
PERSOnaL aPPROach Holidaymakers may
also like to contact the owner directly by phone,
so think about listing your telephone number on
your advert as well as your email address.

Ahead of the gameit is important to keep your holiday home advert up to date for holidaymakers. Here are a few top tips to remember…
Be proactive if you do get last minute
cancellations or have some empty weeks
you want to fill, then think about offering a
special deal to bring in the bookings. Likewise,
if you want to attract the early birds, then offer
people a special price for booking early.
BE aWaRE Keep abreast of transport changes
in the area. This may be the introduction of
a new route to your destination or even an
airline or route cutback. It may also include new
attractions in your location or the closure of an
existing attraction that you have mentioned in
your advertising.
2�holidaylettings.co.uk
Availability Be sure to use and regularly update your online
availability calendar as many holidaymakers
like to search by date and listing sites like
holidaylettings.co.uk will order search results by
availability. Updating regularly shows that you
are a responsible owner and holidaymakers will
not waste their time sending you an enquiry if
you’re already booked.
SEaSOnaL changE Internet sites such as
holidaylettings.co.uk allow you to update your
advert whenever you want, so take advantage
of this. Adapt your advert to different seasons
and different client bases throughout the year.
For example: if you own a ski chalet, think about
how it can be marketed for other seasons,
promote activities such as walking or cycling.

SPREADIng THE WORDinternet sites are now the main method by which owners advertise their properties to holidaymakers. However, if you want to consider extra marketing options try some of these:
SELF PROMOtiOn Produce a simple brochure
or flyer with some photos and text that best
summarise your property. You can put these up
at work, in the newsagents, in the gym or hand
to interested people.
WORD OF MOUth Be sure to tell your friends,
family and colleagues about your property as this is
the cheapest form of advertising.
tRy MagazinE aDvERtiSing
Especially if your property
appeals to a niche market such
as golfers, skiers, families with
young children or pet owners.
However, magazine advertising
can be pricey.
gEt PERSOnaL Think about setting up your
own personal website to take people directly to your
holiday home. Ask holidaylettings.co.uk about the
WebCreator service which enables you to have your
own website that is easily managed and updatable
through your holidaylettings.co.uk account.
SOciaL nEtWORking If you have a profile on
websites such as Facebook or Myspace then add a
link to your online advert and promote your property
this way to your friends and their friends.
tiME FOR yOU Keep some weeks free for you
and your friends and family to enjoy! Sometimes
it can be tempting to accept all of the booking
requests and forget to save dates for yourself.

To encourage repeat

Warm welcome Leave, or ask your cleaner to
provide, a welcome pack for guests. This could
include a bottle of wine and some basic food items,
which are always welcome after a long journey.
Eye on the ball Keep an eye on the market and
make sure your pricing and facilities remain up to
date and competitive. Be sure to review your advert
regularly in this respect.

they may be your competitors but if you get an
enquiry you can’t honour then someone nearby
may have availability. They may return the favour

and activities and get listed with event organisers,
as this is often free. It is also advisable to list with
the local tourist office.
Share the love Provide a guest book for visitor
comments providing useful feedback and valuable
testimonial comments. These can also be used on
your online advert to entice new guests.

investment property is more important now than
ever before. So it’s worth considering the services
of a dedicated currency exchange company which
typically offers better rates and lower charges
than banks and minimises your personal admin
on regular currency payments.
We at holidaylettings.co.uk have teamed up with
Moneycorp who have over 25 years experience
in leading the currency exchange market. They
offer very competitive rates whilst providing an
ultra efficient, hassle free and personalised private
client service.
