Letting during the Games

Letting a property out on a short term holiday let can be very lucrative if done properly. Depending on the size, location and other factors of your property, you could get £2000 a week or more. There are a number of safeguards to be taken to avoid the possible pitfalls of having your property damages, items lost, or worst of all, the occupants failing to vacate at the end of the agreed period. At Martin & Co, the UK’s No1 letting agent, we have the experience and knowledge of how to maximise the rent you can make on your property whilst avoiding these pitfalls, by making sure some important steps are taken.

We can advise you on these steps and arrange a lot of them for you. We can also arrange a gas safety certificate (absolutely vital) if your property has gas, and an inventory of all its contents and the condition of the walls, floors, fixtures and fittings.

We will create the relevant Holiday Letting Agreement between you and the tenants and deal with all the finances, ensuring payment in full is made a minimum of 6 weeks before the let starts. We can also hold a security deposit on your behalf, only returning this when the check out inspection has been done after the tenants have vacated.

Whilst we will not provide a full management service during the rental period, we do have access to plumbers and electricians and other trades to help if you have problems at the property. This applies to any issues you may have before the property is ready for letting.

The Games are a once in a lifetime opportunity for you to capitalize on your main asset, your property. It could pay for a fantastic holiday, a new kitchen or bathroom, or university fees for a year. By putting your property with Martin & Co you can be sure you have taken all the important steps to maximise your potential income during this opportunity, whilst protecting your property and most importantly, your home.
