Hi everyone. Just catching up and I saw Wanderer's question. Speaking as an owner in Sardinia, Italy I have to say the Italian domestic market was one I really thought we would do better with. I bought in 2008 and when I came across mediavacanze.com I thought they would be my main marketing. I have ...

Trip Advisor
Was a bit disappointed to find - when I was sending myself an enquiry just to check all was well - that before sending off the enquiry I was prompted to enquire about other properties (my competition) also in the area who had availability on the dates I had entered. This is on a subscription so I am...

Any experience of ownersrentals.com?
After several happy years of using a combination of OD and HL I am now exasperated with both. The new OD I don't think I can be bothered with and will let subscription lapse later this month. I'm also currently subscribed until end of June with HL but was beginning to think the only hope was my own ...

Haven't yet gone live with The Holiday Let just building my entry. Plus am in no rush as we are pretty much booked now until end of Sept and we don't rent during the winter until March anyway. Having said that The Holiday Let appears to be very much like the old OD or old HL but it all depends on th...

Have paid for an annual HL listing
I have paid for an annual listing on Holiday Lettings (commission only wasn't working for me, as for lots of others here)
Anyone have any positive experiences?
I'm thinking to ditch OD (which has until their change to commission only been my mainstay) and proceed with The Holiday Let and HL

Owners Direct...not so Direct anymore
I had nothing better to do so have read through 11 pages of the "New OD" thread
If they go the same way as HL it will be a poor show. And the name is a misnomer now... really what's "Direct" about it?

I'd keep the deposit and release the dates. Obviously write or telephone and tell the original booker (who your contract is with, even if only verbal) what you're doing. Sounds like you've already given them the opportunity to provide bank details for a refund so I would say (and any judge - if it c...

We went over to a commission only listing. and have worked hard to keep it up to date and respond promptly.The enquiry level is satisfactory but conversion rate is terrible. We have found enquirers don't understand the system either: they ask for a phone number or give you their email (which is edit...
