Why let your property?

Letting your property not only provides you with a source of income, it can also be very satisfying. Providing holiday accommodation is a positive and rewarding experience and our customers really appreciate the efforts homeowners go to in providing comfortable and clean accommodation.

Many of our existing owners have been with us for a number of years; a mutually beneficial and loyal relationship is a priority. We are proud of the service we offer and our relationship with our owners.

Insurance

The acquisition of a holiday home necessitates suitable insurance cover. It is a specific condition of our contract with you that you have in place Public & Property Owner's Liability insurance cover for at least £2 million, for a smaller property, and up to £5 million for larger properties. Your existing insurance policy covering your property and contents could well include this, but it may not extend to apply whilst the property is let. It is important, and a legal requirement, to ensure appropriate cover is in place to protect you and your property.

If not, or if you wish to compare cover and prices, you may be interested to know that both Boshers in Bideford and NFU Insurance based in Holt  are two companies that provide policies for holiday properties. For more information, please contact either of these companies direct.
