Switching
Posted: Fri May 26, 2017 9:45 am
Seriously thinking about switching away from using a letting agent "Cottages.com" / Wyndham Vacation to doing things myself.
Not because I'm having issues with them, in fact I think they are very good. Thinking about moving away from them because of the loss of income brought about by booking fees and the commission they charge. It's a lot of money.
Hoping that someone here may be able to offer help and advice.
To get out of my contract I believe I have to hand in my notice before 1st May 2018 to terminate the contract on the 1st January 2019. I need to clarify this with them.
So I have plenty of time to research this and prepare for the switch.
At the mo I'm making a few assumptions:
I'll need an online calendar.
A Merchant service to take card payments online and or by phone presumably.
Business bank account (I gather this is mandatory when taking card payments).
I'll need to advertise my cottage in one or several ways online which presumably incurs costs.
What would your way forward be?
