Lay My Hat

Thank you for the replies. We are aware re deductions for work completed we have receipts going back 22 yrs for works done. Our solicitor and accountant will hopefully guide us through the fiscal legalities. Been a great holiday home for us and our children many happy memories over the years. Will h...

Hello LMH We are both retired now and thinking of selling our home in France. I thought I had booked marked a list of tax due when selling, which reduces by the years you have owned the property. Possibly info on a few lap tops ago long gone -:( Can anyone please help with a link. We are Uk resident...

Hopefully Sea turtle, your situation is much better now a few months on. We had a similar situation with new cleaners as well. Came to a head when a repeat guest sent us pictures. Unannounced I flew out in time for next change over, stayed in a local bnb met them at the house. Long story short they ...

We had 3 girls and myself all with long hair in our home, before the girls left to marry. These are what we all used after washing our hair, they take up no space at all and dry v quickly. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Noker-Microfiber-Drying-Absorbent-Buttons/dp/B07CTL4DR8/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qi...

We changed to duck boards in bath and shower rooms, which get bleached each change over. Ah nooo.... ! That's just painful on the feet (assuming they're the thin slatted ones and you have stupid feet like me) and then you have the 'joy' of not being able to dry your soles at all so you leave wet fo...

Thank you Andrew.

First time we have ever had to enforce it; in the 13 years we have rented out our holiday home.

We have been very fortunate and were quite shocked at the brass neck of these set of guests.

I would be quite careful of saying that your guests stole your fan on a public forum. It is of course perfectly possible for them not to have noticed a fan if they had never used it. People on holiday tend not to notice things. newtimber, I did say we personally done the showround in my earlier pos...

We have managers who look after our holiday home not ever been on site. A couple of major events and many minor events over 13+yrs of renting. The latest event was the theft off our brand new Dyson AM07 fan that we had taken over with us in the car. On this occasion our cleaners were one down so we ...

The whats app direction works for everyone as had no complaints in the years we have been doing it this way. I took a video from our cafe/resto in the village to our house just less than 1km. As mentioned I also give our house and all contact name & numbers on the same whats app. We as a family ...

We gave up in sending written directions as guests sometimes:- 1 can't follow them correctly, 1km out of our village 2 forget to take them Now we send a 'whats app' video to our guests. They all take their mobiles on holiday if not their brains :roll: Taken from the center of our village up to our d...

I have been in the same situation 8 yrs ago we are also not on site. Great for the first season, then like you, we made a last minute decision to fill a cancellation ourselves. The house was proposed to be ready for cancelled guest, we didn't inform them we were coming. Found a good few things not a...

Sorry to hear you seem to have a difficult guest. Puts you on edge as to their next request or complaint. Wifi is a given nowadays. Would suggest you update your www with the cap information. Your addressing this issue of his. His unreasonable request for more towels, you have given him more, though...

This thread is very interesting. I have reread the thread and what others have said could be the reason for the decline in bookings. It is quite varied what is considered could be some off the reasons bookings are slim. Airbnb & similar Exchange rate Scam properties Quiet for teenagers Owners ch...

My experience now for our French home, is that when an enquiry comes is it usually turns into a booking. Whereas previously conversion rate would be every 2nd or 3rd into a booking. Why who knows! We are finding that we are receiving more and more 3 generations of families staying. Young children of...
