FAQ's
How do I add my property to the site?
Once you have registered, you can access you Advertisement Manager and complete a series of online forms, which cover:
- Property description
- Prices
- Photos
- Availability
Once you have completed entering your information, our production team will review and process your advert. Depending on how many new adverts they are processing, it may take 3-5 days for your property to be live on the site. Your subscription period will run from the date your advert goes live.
Why are recent updates to my advertisment not visible on the Internet?
When you make changes to the text and rental prices of your advertisement, they come through to us in a queue for approving and processing. This is normally done within 12-24 hours (often quicker than this). Photographs can sometimes take a little longer. Updates to your availability calendar go live immediately.
Can I add an extra property/accommodation unit to my advertisement?
If the extra accommodation is within the same building, or on the same plot of land, then it is possible for us to change your Advertisement Form to a "multiple property". There is a fee for each additional unit on your advertisment of £35 + VAT for 6 month subscriptions and £49 + VAT for 12 month subscriptions. Please e-mail us to let us know what you would like to add and we will change the form accordingly. You will then be asked to log into your advertisement in order to add the necessary text changes
Can I be listed under 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedrooms?
Individual properties can only be listed under the bedroom number appropriate to the property, ie. a 4 bedroom villa can only be listed under 4 bedrooms, regardless of whether different rental rates are charged for the use of less bedrooms. We enforce this in order to keep our bedroom listings totally relevant for holidaymakers. We have a "search by town" button alongside each area - this takes visitors to our "region/town" pages which list properties by town or area, regardless of number of bedrooms.
Our Advanced Search facility allows for properties to be searched in alternative ways, eg. by town or minimum number of bedrooms. There is also a facility for searching on "grouped properties", eg. 3 apartments in one complex or 4 cottages on the same plot of land.
How can I move position on the list pages?
Positions on the list pages are automatically generated and pages rotate every 24 hours. For example, if there are 4 pages of properties in your region, you will be on the first page once every 4 days. Within the page,the properties generate randomly, again every 24 hours. So, we can guarantee a first page position on a regular basis but cannot guarantee the position on the page on any one day. Our town list pages work in the same way as well.
How can I improve the response rate on my advert?
We obviously hope to generate a good number of enquiries and bookings for our advertisers but this question does arise from time to time. There are a number of factors involved - the amount of competition in your area, rental prices and photos being the main items which will affect response.
If you are not receiving an adequate response, we would first recommend looking at the other properties on the list pages for your area - compare your location, facilities and rental prices and ensure that you are competitive. Look at your photos - are they bright, sunny, sharp and colourful? A swimming pool under a grey sky does not look inviting! Are internal photos uncluttered, showing as much space and light as possible? Think about putting table, chairs, sunloungers and parasols on your patio or balcony. Also take a look at the description of your property and its location - holidaymakers like to know exactly what they are getting, how far it is to shops and restaurants and places of interest to visit.
