I said I was unable to accept a cheque from her or her ACCOUNTANT but perhaps one of the thousands that she had attempted to book with might be able to. I also thanked her for wasting my time...........

In hindsight, perhaps too subtle..........

Re: Simply Owners

A pity that that FB group only accepts owners with properties in the UK and France. We didn't realize that and were rejected. Does anyone know of a similar FB group for properties Europewide?[/quote] Sorry about that AngloDutch but the admin of the site, of which I am one, decided to limit it to the...

Simply Owners

I was one of the owners that had their information lifted from OD and listed on the Simply Owners site without my permission. I don't think there is much difference between the owners of OD and Simply Owners, both have ignored and treated the actual owners of the properties with contempt. They do as...

I received TWO text messages yesterday, with a link to my property. I didn't click through as always aware of some scam or other. They have lifted details from Owners Direct, photos, phone numbers etc and now displaying it on their website, or certainly were earlier. This is very concerning!

Holiday Homes Direct - anyone used them?

Hi
Like most people I am concerned about the service fee, which according to the email I received today begins on 31/05 and how it will impact our bookings. I saw a review on trust pilot saying this was a good site. Has anyone any experience of them?
Thank you in advance

Really confused and also concerned. We started advertising our property in January of this year and I have kept all our receipts for everything but wonder if I need to do this. I have kept all the receipts for the things I buy for the welcome pack, cleaning materials etc. but I remember reading here...

It's not a commission listing, but it blocked it out on the calendar as soon as I accepted it.
All worked out in the end as we received a reply and payment last night. Thank you everyone for your replies.

Reservation through OD but no reply from guest

Hi Had a reservation through OD on Saturday, accepted and sent payment details. Haven't yet had a response or payment. Mailed them from personal email, which I said I would and told them to check their junk mail too. Have contacted them through OD too. Booking is for a week away. Don't know what to ...

Looks like the machine did the job .......... I went back on to the HL site to get my property ID, had one last ditch attempt and miraculously it appeared.

Thank you. I don't think there is a right or wrong either I just wanted opinions/ ideas. Like your idea of mixing them up a little. Not too sure I am a fan of too many close up shots of cups or glasses either and they have never knowingly sold me a holiday cottage. But that's just me.

Photos - can there be too many?

Hello - I have a listing on OD and thought I might have put too many photos on, as it is a 1 bed cottage with open plan living/ dining/ kitchen. So I have taken some off but now I am thinking maybe I should put some back on........... so the question is can you have too many photos - do people just ...
