Many French property owners rent their properties during the ‘hot rental’ periods in France. The French owners who rent their property can make a nice income from doing this but there are so many advertisers it can be really difficult to get your property to stand out from all the others available.
Use the following tips to get your French rental property rented out more.
One
Offer a large selections of quality photos, invest in a professional photographer. You can use the photos year after year unless there is a big change in your property. Avoid using images that do not wow! the viewer. Make sure you choose the inviting photos. No need to show a picture of the toilet.
Two
Write quality descriptive that gets the reader emotional and excited to rent your property. Do not just write ‘beach close by’ , write (if it is true) ‘relax on the sandy beach and dip your feet in the deep blue mediterranean sea only five minutes gently walk from the property’. Do not just write ‘large terrasse’ write ‘Enjoy your evening watching the sun set on the mountain with your favourite…” Do not write ‘bakery close by’ write ‘stroll to the local bakery to buy fresh bread for your relaxing morning meal’.
Three
Offer price driven discounts if you want to book your property in advance of the season before owners enter their property onto the renting market. Renters are very price conscious and now more than ever like to plan ahead.
Four
Make sure you have a booking system that inspires confidence in the renter because they feel confident in the security of your booking system.
Remember renting your holiday home is a business and takes time and energy if you want to make it a profitable business. You also need to check the legal guidelines surrounding renting your property in France. There are restrictions. You may decide it is better for you to engage a professional property renter to manage your rentals while you are somewhere else in the country or world. It can be way less stressful.
