Step 1. Advertising & channel management of your short let
We will list your property on powerful Online Travel Agents ( O.T.A.'s), now household brand names. We will utilise these commission bearing marketing websites & build in their advertising commissions into the tariffs charged to the guests.
We channel manage all the different Online Travel Agents from our master ical calendar that links to the OTAÂ’s preventing double bookings. ( we can link to our clientÂ’s own ical booking calendar systems if required).
We set the intricate pricing required for your property, to take account of seasonal pricing, short stay pricing, and late availability if required. This pricing is agreed with you then entered on each O.T.A. system and managed & updated as required.
We also advertise your property on Rightmove to secure you longer extended stays, this is the mainstay for many urban short let properties & our flexible licence agreements are ideal for contact workers...those between house sales...insurance temporary accommodation....building works....returning expats....visiting academics & medics....relocating...the list goes on.
Step 2. Direct booking webpage for your property
We create a webpage for your property on our website which we heavily optimise to pick up Google searches for your locality, and the benefits of your short term let.
Step 3. Handle Bookings
Email or telephone enquiries link through to the Landlord Direct Lettings Office, and our staff handle these booking enquiries on your behalf.
Step 4. Handle payments
We take payments from guests via the Online Travel Agent websites or directly if they come through our own website. We take payments by Visa and other Debit Cards or by bank transfer.
Insured Client Account
We arrange payments to you along with statements of account. We are a registered 'Safe Agent' all client monies held are protected by client money protection insurance. All client monies are held in insured client accounts. This gives peace of mind to both owners and guests.
Step 5. Compliance Set Up
We assist landlords with the option to accredit their short let serviced properties with the new Visitor Ready accreditation, run by AA / Visit England. The scheme is free of charge and reminds landlords when important documentation needs to be renewed such as insurance , gas safety certificates etc.
