Average rentals in a year
« on: July 22, 2013, 20:12:51 PM »
Can I ask owners how many weeks on average, you rent your place out? 
I'm just wondering if we bought a place and rented out, how often it might be booked as appreciate there is very little business out of season - unless you do a long-term let.

We rented out our Villa last year and this. Both times had 3 lots of rentals - a total of 4 or 5 weeks each time. August has been the best month, followed by July - nothing in other months, but that's when we go. Good luck!

Thanks Artymar.  Do you advertise your villa for rental or were the bookings just by chance?   
We haven't really decided yet so I'm just doing a bit of digging so I can look at the financial side and what income could be expected from rentals.

When we rented for a year in the past, as I recall we were able to rent for for about 12-13 weeks in that year, with most of it in July and August.  We did advertise on the web, but no where else.

If we had rented in the following year we would also have had a lot of repeat business from those who did rent from us.

Just a word of warning I have been told that they will be cracking down on undeclared rental income here in Fethiye and will be investigating rental web sites and checking complexes and villas and also monitoring transfers. :o

I'm guessing that you rent to Republicans only ? ;D

That's why I'm not getting any rentals - I thought they said publicans only.  ;D

We advertised solely on the website Ownersdirect.co.uk
We found it very straight forward.

4 weeks is a bit disappointing when advertising on Owners Direct I would have thought?
