We had a great mention in last weekend’s Sunday Times in an article called How to find affordable homes by the sea.
What they didn’t mention is the yours2share method of renting a second home: find one or two like-minded people/couples or families who will rent your weekend cottage for (say) a weekend or week each month, paying you a monthly income. This is a much more attractive proposition than letting your beloved bolt-hole invaded by people you don’t know throughout the high season, when you would actually like to use it sometimes. It’s also a lot less hassle than constantly marketing the property as well as managing the cleaning and key-holding.
Here’s a great case study about renting a second home.
Another great place for Fractional Property information is Owners Perspective Magazine, has loads of reviews and guides, and free subscription oline at http://www.ownersperspective.com
Or you can if you have a holiday home join an exchange club such as http://www.exchangeholidayhomes.com
It’s free to join and you will earn crrdits to use against other members avaiable weeks, only a small fee of £67 is payable once you have found your holiday. Late Deals also on there.
