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.
