Being a non-Resident French holiday home and gîte owner in the Charente may
be profitable not only in high season, but throughout the year.
However, to yield the rentable income from your
French holiday home, it is necessary to exercise regular property maintenance and
to carry out repairs.
Naturally, undertaking property maintenance and
repair to your French home holiday may become challenging if you are
non-Resident in France.
Moreover, in recent years, due to the changing
climate, the Charente region has experienced strong winds and regular storms
during the winter months which require regular property checks to
ensure that property damage has not occurred which
may be detrimental to your gîte rental income.
If you have a property manager, then it would be
prudent to request weekly property check visits with video footage and a
property check report sent to you for peace of mind.
In addition, winter wet weather tends to create a
smell of dampness, if holiday home properties have been sealed by shutters and
are not regularly aired. Therefore, a weekly visit from your property
manager would also ensure that your French home holiday is opened up once a
week.
As a holiday let owner, you are probably already
aware of the importance of planning ahead for the holiday season. If
you do not have the latest photographs of your French holiday home for
marketing, then ask your property manager to attend the property on a bright
sunny day for a photo-shoot in order that the photographs may be uploaded in
good time to the gîte booking websites.
Another important annual maintenance task to carry
out in early March will be your French holiday home garden.
Any camellias and magnolia grandiflora in the garden
will require a Sequestrene plant feed to prevent the yellowing of leaves which
may not be attractive to potential guests seeking a gîte rental.
Although the winter weather may seem to give the
impression that the high season is months away, the month of March is a busy
month for the French holiday home let market.
