We understand the balance of earning the optimum income, whilst making sure your property remains competitive in the market.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bookings<\/strong>: Administering bookings and liaising with guests before, during and after their stay.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Guest<\/strong> <strong>support<\/strong>: Responding to any queries or issues, and offering advice on the local area.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Changeovers<\/strong>: Preparing your property for every booking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Laundry and cleaning<\/strong>: Ensuring your property is presented to a high standard before every guest arrives, and that fresh linen is provided.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintenance<\/strong>: Responding to any reactive maintenance issues, or proactively planning work to maintain the standard of your holiday home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compliance and regulation checks<\/strong>: Supporting owners with understanding the legalities of running a holiday let.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Owner support and advice<\/strong>: Answering any questions you may have around holiday letting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"2\">Things to consider when choosing a holiday letting agent in South Devon<\/h2>\n<h3>What type of service do you require?<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36178\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coastandcountry.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/11\/CCC-Checklist-Icon-Banner.jpg\" alt=\"Banner showing a checklist icon\" width=\"640\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the most important things to consider when choosing a holiday letting agent is the level of support you require with the day-to-day running of your holiday home.<\/p>\n<p>Some agencies act as a marketing service only, and the property owner is responsible for either managing their own changeovers or appointing a caretaker.<\/p>\n<p>If you require more support with managing your property, we\u2019d recommend looking for an agent that can either put you in touch with reliable contacts to conduct your changeovers, or offer a full property management service where changeovers are organised on your behalf.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At Coast &amp; Country Cottages, we offer both owner and agency managed service options.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For those that opt for an owner managed service, we are responsible for marketing your property, administering your bookings and all guest liaison. All owners will have access to our owner portal and app, where we display easy-to-understand breakdowns of bookings and finances, plus industry updates from our in-house legal team.<\/p>\n<p>On top of this, our agency managed service takes care of the hands-on side of letting your property. From changeovers and cleaning to waste removal and key collection, we can support owners with any aspect of running a successful holiday let.<\/p>\n<p>We would recommend thinking about your own time and availability \u2013 by using an agent like Coast &amp; Country Cottages, you can remove the pressure on yourself to be readily available. Our <strong>24\/7 emergency line<\/strong> means we will always be the first point of contact for your guests.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the property management services we offer at Coast &amp; Country Cottages, take a look at our blog on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coastandcountry.co.uk\/blog\/holiday-home-management-options\" rel=\"noopener\">choosing the right service for your cottage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span lang=\"EN\">What are your expectations for your holiday home?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36179\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coastandcountry.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/11\/CCC-Expectations-Icon-Banner.jpg\" alt=\"Banner showing question mark icons to represent expectations\" width=\"640\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Using your property yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When selecting an agency, it is important to think about your own expectations and choose accordingly. For example, if your holiday cottage is first and foremost your own holiday bolthole, ensure you choose an agent who offers flexibility on owner bookings.<\/p>\n<p>At Coast &amp; Country Cottages, our owners benefit from an in-house Managed Services team who can arrange for your property to be cleaned and fresh linen ordered ahead of your own bookings, so you can relax and enjoy your holiday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Running your property as a business?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the property is primarily a business venture or needs to generate a specific level of income, beware of companies who make false promises and predictions of unrealistic levels of bookings!<\/p>\n<p>At Coast &amp; Country Cottages, we use data on how our existing portfolio of <strong>over 500 holiday homes<\/strong> in South Devon perform, to guide owners on the income they can expect to earn.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re just getting started on your holiday letting journey, read our blog with everything you need to know about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coastandcountry.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-start-a-holiday-let-business\" rel=\"noopener\">how to start and run a holiday let business<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Commission fees<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coastandcountry.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/11\/CCC-Commission-Fees-Icon-Banner.jpg\" alt=\"Banner showing a magnifying glass and pound sign icon, representing commission fees\" width=\"640\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Every holiday home letting agent has its own commission fees. Knowing how much they charge can influence which agency you choose.<\/p>\n<p>At Coast &amp; Country Cottages, our commission rates are tiered based on the amount of personal use the owner requires. Our commission rates are reflective of our national marketing reach and spend, and the fact that we have a proven record of delivering high levels of bookings.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to get a better understanding of what commission we would charge for your property, get in touch with our New Property Consultants for a bespoke pricing breakdown and income proposal.<\/p>\n<h3>First impressions count<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36181\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coastandcountry.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/11\/CCC-First-Impressions-Icon-Banner.jpg\" alt=\"Banner with an icon showing free people with stars, representing good first impressions\" width=\"640\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve all heard the saying, \u2018first impressions count\u2019, and when considering a holiday letting agency this couldn\u2019t be more true.
