Re: Commercial holiday let - public liability insurance

I have a holiday let owned by Ltd Company X. This will be managed by Ltd Company Y. As far as I am aware I need public liability cover for Company Y, as it is this company that the tenant will have a contract with and, in theory, the one that the tenant would sue if something went wrong. However, t...

If you accept dogs, then why not a higher deposit required? At least if there is any damage, you`ll have something in the pot. And they may think twice about leaving it, as I`m sure they know whether the dog is trustworthy or not.

So I got a text from them with a code, and it was from the same telephone number that Homeaway used to send me enquir...

The first and obvious question is, what are your terms for payment, especially Im assuming the balance? If they dont pay you, then Im assuming you dont let them stay in the property if they had just turned up. Likewise, you cant then demand the balance to be paid if they havent turned up. Were you c...

They are terrible for that on two fronts. Firstly if someone puts in a geographical location ie in my case Kirchberg in Tirol, other places up to 50km away would be ahead of you in the search if they are higher up in their scale of things. I complained and asked why do they not just focus on what th...

Of course its work. The fact its on a separate part of the Tax return doesn't mean its not. A lot of people own portfolios of property and pay tax just like everyone else do on for example PAYE The fact that its rental income is irrelevant. The tax they pay the revenue is the same as anyone else. Th...

Maybe to help in the future that the price includes a "discount" when they confirm they have travel Insurance along with a quoted price of NO travel Insurance. For those that tick the box and pay the higher amount, keep the difference in an account for hopefully these times. But as they ha...

Id stick to your guns and not be dictated to by a company that may have the financial clout to ride this through. Its your business, not theres. I don't know how long you've been with HA. But when I signed up with them in 2009, it was a platform to market/advertise my property. Slowly but surely, th...

What I don't understand re HA, is the reason I left them is because they hold the money until after the guests have been. So what money are they talking about YOU returning? Or are they asking for your permission to allow HA to return the money they hold in advance of the guests turning up. At the e...

I`m sorry but that is one reason why I stopped advertising using HA. They think its their property. They maybe can afford to take the hit, but we as private individuals have to make our own decisions. Again, another reason why I binned them. They keep telling the prospective customers that they get ...
