Welcome to the blog for self-catering-online.com. We plan to use the blog as a discussion forum for both owners/managers of self-catering/holiday let properties and for people who come to stay in them. Posts will be about topics that we feel are of interest to these communities, and about any that are raised with us – so do feel free to let us know what you would be interested in blogging about and sharing.
To start, I’ll introduce ourselves.
Lenore Kennedy and Janet Unsworth own self-catering-online.com. We live in Edinburgh where we started our business as Edinburgh-Flats Partnership in 2007.
We are both landlords and between us have 30+ years experience of letting properties as what come to eb know as “Buy-to-let” type letting – 6 month assured leases. In 2007, we started letting some properties in Edinburgh as Holiday Lets. We were getting good income, but felt better services were needed for both owners of holiday let properties and guests staying in these properties – that’s when the business started.
Now, in early 2010, we have almost 200 properties live on our Edinburgh web-site and have just made available the web-site for properties in London.
Tomorrow I’ll talk do a post about the type of properties that work as self-catering/holiday lets.
