If you choose to let your property you will have the benefit of being located in an area that remains popular all year round to a varied clientele.

For the sun lovers there is a never ending source of beaches, pools and parks, and for those more adventurous souls there are the mountains only a short drive away.

Added to this is the choice of golf courses in the immediate area and even more if you don’t mind a short drive. With Villa Martin, Campoamor, Las Ramblas the golfer will be able to enjoy a challenging time and now with La Finca a championship course of the future and Quesada within 30 minutes drive away it is hard to imagine any golfer not wanting to return again and again.

As you would expect with an area devoid of package holiday makers the night life is based mainly on a quiet drink and a nice meal and the choice of bars and restaurants are endless. The area is dominated by the self catering market with villas, bungalows and apartments abounding which although sets the pleasant tone of the area also presents the one problem associated with renting property out. Quite simply there are so many people letting their properties out that competition is keen and it is important to consider this when deciding to let your property.

Hopefully when you purchased your property you were not led to believe by the salesman that your property would pay for itself by you simply making the decision to let it out, then stand back and fight off the clients. You should not therefore depend on the income from letting out your property to cover any mortgage taken out for its purchase. What you should be aiming at, is a property that stands as a good investment, somewhere that you can enjoy many a holiday or short break and at the same time get some income back that adds to your investment.

The one thing we can guarantee is that without putting your property in the market place you will not get any takers so that is where we come in. We obviously have the web site that you are currently looking at and that is the first step in getting your property noticed. In addition to this we subscribe to 2 other rental web sites. We constantly review new advertising options and currently have an advertisement in the CB Friday Guide Book for the south Costa Blanca and a full page in the recent edition of Villa Advertiser distributed in selected Tesco and Sainsbury stores in the UK. We have links with a number of estate agents in the area who refer rental enquiries to us regularly.

We also encourage property owners to try and attract clients themselves and do not demand exclusive use of the property. Keeping the property let is the objective whether it comes from our endeavours or yours and all we ask is that you keep us informed of any bookings that you secure in order to avoid any embarrassing double bookings.

Getting someone to rent your property is only one part of the equation. The other part is keeping them happy when they arrive and hopefully encouraging them to return again. This can only be achieved if the property is managed professionally and at the same time in a welcoming manner to make guests feel at ease from the moment they make the booking right up until they vacate at the end of their stay.
