Keen to make your property pay? A capital idea from LondonsHolidayApartments.com

Short-term and holiday lets specialist, LondonsHolidayApartments.com can help property owners who want to let out their homes - this summer and beyond - to reach potential customers and generate valuable income.
 
April 24, 2012 - PRLog -- London is an all-year-round holiday destination. This summer alone, the capital gears up to celebrate three of the most iconic events in its recent history: The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee (2-5 June), the Olympics (27 July-12 August) and the Paralympics (29 August-9 September), and demand for accommodation is likely to be higher than ever.

Founded in 2011 by four London-based directors with backgrounds in residential sales and lettings, surveying, law and accounting, LondonsHolidayApartments.com offers accommodation options ranging from ultra-modern studio apartments in the city centre to large, comfortable family homes in the quieter outskirts – and is adding new properties to its portfolio all the time. Comparing favourably with the 25% charged by many holiday lettings companies, LondonsHolidayApartments.com offers its landlords a competitive 15% fee on the gross rental income of bookings made through the company (plus VAT).

Unlike many other websites, LondonsHolidayApartments.com does not charge an annual fee. The only cost to sign up is a one-off charge of £300 (plus VAT) to list each property, deducted from the first rental booked, which includes a set of professional photographs. London’s Holiday Apartments believes that high-quality images are essential in presenting a property to its full potential, setting its website ahead of many others offering a similar service.

As well as great pictures, each property listed on the LondonsHolidayApartments.com website benefits from a detailed description of its layout, décor and facilities that includes a floor plan and video tour. There’s also an invaluable location section with Google Map and Street View links as well as helpful text outlining the history of the area and local points of interest. Most importantly, each property page features live availability and booking information, enabling customers to reserve their accommodation there and then – rather than waiting for someone to call or email them back.

Should users of the site require any further assistance during the booking or browsing process, there is a ‘talk to us’ live help service. Once booked, the team at LondonsHolidayApartments.com continues to deal with all customer enquiries, leaving property owners free to focus on running their business. And, for landlords left with surplus accommodation, the website’s robust back office system can seamlessly manage any last-minute discounts they may wish to apply, and promote these on its late availability page.

The LondonsHolidayApartments.com website features invaluable information sections on topics such as travel, climate and cost of living in the city as well as recommendations for the best places to eat, drink and visit. There’s also a detailed list of ‘must-see’ museums, art galleries and attractions that will be particularly useful to those who are new to London. And, with this summer’s big sporting event almost upon us, a dedicated section on the Olympics – including details of each venue and properties still available to rent nearby – looks set to be the site’s most visited over the coming months.

LondonsHolidayApartments.com allows landlords complete flexibility over the dates on which they allow their property to be booked. Another attractive aspect of a lettings arrangement with London’s Holiday Apartments is that there is no limit on the number of bookings that property owners can take themselves. The company offers owners a complete online service, including a special login for the website that enables them to track the performance of their property, view arrivals and departures at the click of a button, and even provide information online for their cleaner!

Says Henry Taylor, Director and Head of Acquisitions at LondonsHolidayApartments.com: “We appreciate that anyone with property to let in London is faced with several options by which to do so, ranging from renting it direct – with the associated hassle that this can involve – to selling it through one of our competitors. We believe that London’s Holiday Apartments stands head and shoulders above the others. Not only do we offer a superb service to our landlords that includes an attractive booking fee, we also believe in the importance of marketing our properties professionally and honestly to potential customers. We’re passionate about London, too, and our website is packed with useful information about the city that encourages people not only to browse for longer, but also to book.”

LondonsHolidayApartments.com is keen to hear from landlords looking to let their houses or apartments on a regular basis. In some cases, these will be individuals or companies with a property portfolio that’s currently under-performing, whilst in others it will be private homeowners who either leave the country regularly for long periods – perhaps for work or an extended holiday – or those with a pied-à-terre in town that could really do with paying its way in these financially-straitened times.

The expert team at LondonsHolidayApartments.com can advise on all aspects of letting out a property for holiday and/or short lets – which often yield a far higher return than long-term rental arrangements. And, whether it’s a studio apartment suitable for a business person seeking home comforts over the impersonality of a hotel or a multiple-bedroomed home with luxury facilities that would appeal to well-heeled groups of friends or family, LondonsHolidayApartments.com has customers waiting to book their visit to the capital.
