Reserving accommodation: (please also see our frequently asked questions page)
In order to reserve an apartment or house we will need our standard booking form completing with credit card details to act as a security deposit (or a prepaid deposit depending on the property, which is refunded at the end of your stay less any charges for damages or cleaning). Please read our tenant terms and conditions here
If your booking is for a date more than 2 weeks in advance then we will need a GBP 200 booking deposit with the balance of the rent due 2 weeks before arrival. For all arrivals less than two weeks in advance full payment must be made upon booking.
Keys cannot be handed out unless payment has been cleared to us in advance of arrival. If staying for more than 4 weeks then we can arrange to take payment four-weekly in advance and payment must be cleared to us at least one week prior to the renewal date so that we can make a cleared payment to the landlord.
Please either complete a booking form (download here) and fax it to us on +44 (0)1753 856667 or email us asking for a booking form relative to the property you would like to reserve. Please note that we will only be able to confirm your booking once we have received payment as requested - an invoice will be sent to you for the rent as agreed. There is no vat to pay on rent as we either own or sublet these properties.
You can fax or post this form to us but please note that we are unable to confirm any bookings until we have received this form and payment of some form.

Cancellation notice: we will require a minimum of 4 weeks notice of any cancellation or major change to your booking. Refunds cannot be given for cancellations less than this notice period unless we are able to re-let the property. A GBP 200 administration charge will be levied from your refund if we are able to re-let. Part refunds may be given for longer term paid bookings at the discretion of the property owner. Cancellation for longer term lets require at least four weeks notice unless otherwise agreed.
By sending us your booking form you are agreeing to pay for any damages or cleaning at the property that is required at the end of your stay in order for us to make the property suitable for re-letting. We kindly ask that you leave properties in a similar condition to how you found them when you moved in and that any damages or breakages or maintenance issues are reported to us as soon as you are aware of them.
All properties and communal areas are strictly NON SMOKING. We reserve the right to make a charge for additional cleaning if required.
