OwnersAway Property Rentals

The weather  will soon start to get a little cooler,  the summer holidays are over and the  peak rental period of July and August is drawing to a close.   Autumn is the ideal time to visit your rental property and cast a critical eye over the furniture, fixtures and fittings.

 If your property has been let throughout the summer season, swimming pools, suncream and sand can become your worst enemies! So keeping on top of any minor marks and blemishes means that your property will be in pristine condition for your next guests.

•  Check sofas, seating and cushions for marks and stains. If you have removeable covers, take them off and wash them. If not, spot clean any marks with upholstery cleaner. Replace any soft furnishings that are torn or marked.
  

• Take down and wash any curtains. Wipe security blinds and clean the window frames.
  

• Check the condition of your bedding. Clean quilts ready for the winter season and make sure you have enough blankets to keep holidaymakers warm.
  

• Have a good look at your towels and tea towels. Replace any older towels that may look a little threadbare. Get rid of any kitchen towels that look stained or are past their best.

•  Use the quieter months toget on with any small repairs on the property. Check locks, door handles, light fittings etc. for any minor problems. Replace any bulbs that are not working.
  

• Check that all you electrical appliances are in good working order. Replace any faulty items. Keep all the instruction manuals and guarantees in a safe place for your tennants reference.
  

Put yourself in your visitors shoes – what would be their impression of your property? Paying attention to these small details is key to keeping your clients satisfied, and happy holidaymakers means repeat bookings! 

Hope you had a busy summer, here at OwnersAway we certainly did!

Hasta Pronto
