Introduction

Take advantage of the huge market that is the Internet, by advertising your property worldwide today. We aim to provide you with the most cost-effective and efficient means to advertise your holiday home 365 days a year, and above all to provide a service that is simple to use, both for you and your customers.

It won't cost you a fortune either. You could easily recoup your annual registration fee with your first week's rental income!

Our Service

We will provide a full-page advertisement on this site, based on information that you provide us regarding your property. The advertisement will contain brief details (up to 100 words), plus up to 4 photographs, an "at a glance" list of key features, further detailed description (up to 500 words), a table of rental rates and availability dates.

We provide a simple registration form (further details below) on which you can submit your details to us either on-line from this site, by post or by e-mail. Providing you follow the general format of our form, you choose the content that goes into your advertisement, and you decide on how to structure your rental rates and terms.

Upon receipt of your details, photos and deposit payment, we will aim to have your advertisement on-line within 5 working days. After that, all you need do is to contact us as soon as you have a confirmed booking, so that we can update your availability details on-line.

What we don't do is handle your bookings for you. Arrangements between you and your customers are entirely your own responsibility.

Photos

A good advertisement should ideally contain one or more photographs as a selling aid.

They are not compulsory, but we would strongly recommend you include at least one, but no more than four good quality, clear colour photographs, taken in bright conditions. Exterior and interior views are recommended, and you may like to include a view of the local beach, golf course, town centre, etc.

We would prefer original photos to be sent by mail in a strong envelope to our web developers (see Contacts).

Make sure you include a note giving your name address and property details, so that we can match these to the correct advert. You should also include a note describing the views on each photo - do not write on the back of the actual photos.

Please note that we will not reproduce any material on this site that is subject to copyright, without the express permission of the owners of such copyright. Please make sure that you either own or have the owners permission to use all material that you submit to us. 

We do not normally return photos to clients as it may be necessary to re-scan them at a later date.

You may, if you prefer send the photos by e-mail to sfpadmin@btconnect.com Please ensure that these are sent in a low compression jpg or jpeg format, in a manageable size, so that the total attachment file size does not exceed 200mb.

Other Information

The following is a brief guide to some of the basic points you may need to consider when contemplating using your home for letting purposes. These notes are intended for guidance only, and infer no legal obligation on the part of the Company.
It is your responsibility to take the necessary steps to comply with all legal and fiscal obligations of the country in which your property is located, and of your main country of residence if these are different.

• Remember that as the property owner, you have full discretion as to when and to whom you let your property. You are bound to get enquiries from a variety of different people, so decide beforehand, what sort of guests you want renting your home - i.e. families with young children; a group of golfers; a group of young adults/teenagers; whether you will allow pets; whether the property is suitable for disabled or elderly persons requiring wheelchair access.

• Make sure you furnish and equip your property with all the essential equipment required for a self-catering holiday, and have sufficient crockery and utensils to allow for the odd breakage. Furniture and bedding are going to get a lot of use, so will need to be sturdy, yet comfortable.

• It is strongly advised that you have someone to manage your property for you while you are not there, to meet your guests on arrival and departure to hand over the keys, and to deal with maintenance, cleaning, inventory checks and ensuring fresh linen is available at the right times. They will also need to ensure there is an adequate stock of essential provisions for your guests, who will obviously not want to be searching for the nearest supermarket the minute they get there. 

• It is a good idea to provide an instruction manual for your guests, giving essential details about the property, operation of equipment etc, important and emergency contact numbers, as well as a brief guide to the area, places of interest, and local amenities, first aid etc.

• You will need to contact your home insurance provider to let them know that it will be used for letting purposes.

• It is important that you notify us (preferably by e-mail) as soon as you have taken a booking, so that we can update your availability dates on our site. Provisional bookings will be separately identified from confirmed ones.

• Be prepared to accept that certain breakages will inevitably occur from time to time. It is also a good idea to include provision for these in your rental terms and conditions, as well as charges for extra services, and to ensure your guests are fully aware of these when making their booking.
