Problem with concrete swimming pool
I am in need of advise regarding our pool. We have a concrete pool which was painted last year with an epoxy paint. The surface has bubbled badly and we have been advised to sand it back to the concrete. We bought a good sanding machine to try to remove the paint layers ready to repaint. However, ev...

I had a very convincing looking enquiry yesterday which looked identical to the normal enquiry email format sent by Owners Direct. I never click on the email link to go to the dashboard and so went through my normal route. There was no no enquiry in my inbox so I was suspicious. When I returned to t...

We had this dilemma two years ago when we wanted to make the pool temperature more comfortable in April/May and September/October. Having looked into the solar panel options we realised that the temperature would not rise enough to make a difference on the cloudy days when we really needed most addi...

We were also approached by them and I was led to believe that it was a 'feature' they were doing rather than just an advert. I supplied photos and also wrote the text myself as I wanted to be sure it was 100% correct. They emailed me a proof to check and approve before publication which I thought wa...

OD search engine
Has anyone else experienced a problem with OD's search engine recently? I have had no enquiries at all this month and decided to do a search as a potential client. Having selected 'Corfu, Greece' from the drop down menu and then ticking 'no specific dates' and 'search', the search keeps selecting 'C...

We advertise on Owners direct and they have provided us with all of our bookings so far. Pure holiday homes produced nothing. Holiday lettings produced nothing. Vacation Rental People produced nothing. We have therefore dropped all of these and stuck with OD. We have our own website as well but so f...

Winterizing a pool
We have an irregular shaped concrete infinity pool at our villa in Greece and we are unsure of the best proceedure for winterizing it. Am I correct in thinking that you should empty 1/3 of the water and that you add appropriate chemicals which will keep the water clear for the winter? We are 500m ab...

Hello Julies We have a travertine stone floor and have had a nightmare trying to keep it free from stains. We have just cleaned it with a 'Litholin' deep clean product, bought on line, which has restored it beautifully. We have also sealed it with Litholin 'stainstop' in the hope of preventing furth...

Hello Cleveland House We have now removed our listing with HL and Trip Advisor because of the unfair review system. We had four excellent reviews giving us 5 stars until a family from hell posted a totally inaccurate review after we withheld some of their security deposit for damage and extra cleani...
