Welcome Tobias and Julia Some of the others will be along with sound suggestions, I'm sure...particularly those that manage properties / arrange repairs etc (tho' not necessarily from your region). We're just (?up) down the road from you, in Antibes. Brockles is a member on here, and again not far (...

I made an enquiry, using the number technique someone else had mentioned, which got through...I also found the villa through their own website. They replied via OD (and their own website), but I didn't receive anything from OD...I did, however get this yesterday... Owners Direct Our Family of Brands...

Not a real telephone enquiry...
As I'm battling with OD / HA about having to remove my telephone number from my listing (a lost cause, I know), I can't tell you haw excited I was to get a telephone message from Sam, looking for a week away, wondering if I had availability after Easter next year. She'd seen my ad on The Holiday Let...

OK, so I removed the 'offending' phraseology, but they now won't reinstate the ad until I remove the 'phone number (as again, this might encourage people to book outside their platform...) How are people supposed to talk to me?...just via the typed word , via the OD system, which will be censored as...

I have now received an e-mail direct from Homeaway (as opposed to Owners Direct, who sent the last one and apologised for the system error 14.9.17) to say that my listing has been deactivated due to wording which is encouraging potential renters to book other than via their on-line platform.... Erm....

As has been mentioned on here, on another post, your best bet may be to ask HMRC for advice. You're exploring possibilities, and there may well be other tax considerations (for example,will your parents be selling their home, assuming they own one?) It may be advantageous to convert from FHL, to a s...

TVA: when is it chargeable by an SAS
I admit to being confused this morning (easily done, these days...). I am a lay-person when it comes to TVA / VAT, and I'd appreciate a few pointers. My manager has recently 'become' an SAS, and is charging TVA...on everything. I am not sure if this is correct, but I'm sure someone here will know. H...

I suppose that it might be assumed that, if the property's no longer on the website, that it's no longer 'available' , for whatever reason? If , when the renter arrives, there's no property for them to stay in, their money will be 'protected', one assumes. If I were about to stay at your property, a...

As today is the 20th, perhaps this is linked to the 'erroneous' email they sent out last week telling the rest of us on subscription that we'd be de-listed by the 20th if we didn't remove our telephone numbers, contact details etc. They back-tracked in 24h, and now they've gone back to those of us o...

As usual, I think they're having a fiddle with the site, as some of the Help pages are now blank! Have a look at help Home / getting started / How do I get paid...
