Letting in Salcombe for Home Owners - do you have a property to let?

Salcombe is very popular with holiday makers, sailors, fishermen, divers, powerboat enthusiasts, walkers, ornithologists and lovers of wonderful scenery. A majority of visitors come back year after year and take self-catering accommodation.

Many of our customers and their families have been with us for 20 years, since the Agency was established in 1985 and competition is great to book in high season.

Holiday letting has proved a great success for our owners, who invariably use their properties themselves both in and out of season. We have no strictures on the number of weeks available to us to let.

Salcombe Holiday Homes are seeking good quality properties in Salcombe and North and South Sands areas. We restrict ourselves to this area, which enables us to specialize, paying particular attention to our owners properties and personally inspecting them between each changeover. We offer a first class marketing and booking service and would be pleased to hear from any owners of Salcombe properties who would like to hear more about letting.

If you would like further details please contact us by telephone, email, fax or post.

How much income might be expected?

Obviously this is dependant upon many factors and although we might be able to take a guess, based upon information provided by you, a visit to the property at an early stage is essential. We are happy to do this, free of charge and without obligation.

Situation, parking, views and outside area have a major bearing upon the amount of rent charged and number of weeks let. Acceptance of pets and provision of linen will enable a small increase in rent but might result in a major increase in number of weeks.

You also need to consider whether you will allow short breaks or reductions for a limited number of occupants. Gas, oil and electricity is invariably included in Salcombe rents.

We can advise on all of this and although we are not legal or tax experts we can point you in the right direction in regard to these aspects.

We will provide you with an 'owner pack' which outlines who does what, why and for how much?
