Lay My Hat

Oooh, how glad am i that i'd stumbled on this post? We had an identical e-mail last week from him and to be honest, we were about to take him up on his offer. We did ask him for an amount he was prepared to pay and he suggested $60-75 per year through Paypal. Not enough for me to go to the hassle of...

Hi Kate, Good luck with your venture; i imagine it could be a bit dis-heartening reading some of the posts but to be fair, it all appears to be good advice! It absolutely comes down to bookings for us. We too have listed with some fantastic looking sites that have yielded zero bookings. It appears t...

As you go out, we come home! You'll be pleased to know that the weather has picked a bit, so you might be ok. We've had prices of about that and a bit more for Broadband. We had no idea it was quite so pricey. We get a big TV package, 20meg broadband and phone rental for about £40 per month. We are ...

Hi all,

For all those who rent in Cyprus, does anybody have internet/broadband in their homes?
We priced it up for our rental apartment and it it is very expensive; about €60 per month!
Is this right or are we being stung?

Over to you!

Hi Fab,

In answer to your question, we post on Holiday-Rentals, Flipkey (and the deal that gives you Tripadvisor free) and about 15-20 free sites.
Flipkey's been good for us with about 5 bookings and HR has given us about 3 bookings.

As we're new to this game, we're quite pleased with that!

Hi there and welcome! We've got a place in Larnaca and to be honest, yes, we've found the rental side of things tough. We list on 3 of the big sites and after a great start to the year with about 5 bookings, it's really dried up now, as it was from October to Crimbo. I'm going to bite the bullet and...

Hi all, I thought i'd say a quick hello to anyone who's still keeping tabs on this post! My Wife and i bought 'off-plan' back in 2006 in the village of Oroklini in Larnaca and rentals have been steadily getting worse despite promises of '90% rental occupancy' from the estate agent. We were lucky in ...

Fair points Wallypot.

I think that was the reason for putting the photos on the main page as there might be a lot of word info to take in.

Thanks though, i might have a re-jig of the layout.

I've got to ask though folks, is there anything that we should leave as it is?

Yes, that's what i've been relying on.
I think i've been a little naive with regards to statistics from letting agents, so Google Analytics here we go.

More good advice, thanks.

Hi both and thanks for the really quick responses. Pete, i'll definitely make the alterations you suggest, but the Google ads were going to stay. Do you think they're detrimental to the site? GoDot,the stats come from letting agents who advise you how often your property site has been viewed. I can ...

Hi everyone and thanks in advance for helping me out. My wife and i have an apartment in Larnaca, Cyprus which we try and rent out, without much luck (at all...). I've tried a couple of letting agent websites with little success so i had a go at creating my own website using the free Google website ...
