The first person you will meet is one of our Portfolio Development Managers. They each cover their own area and understand which properties do well and how to price them for maximum return. They are happy to come along and meet you, without obligation, whether you own a holiday property, are considering buying one or even if you are planning to build from scratch! They have been known to accompany prospective buyers on property viewings to offer their expert opinion from a business perspective. Our Portfolio Development Managers will offer honest advice about fit-out and decor. They will discuss pricing and can provide forecasts of potential income. They will also outline the statutory requirements for any holiday property owner. If you need to find someone to welcome your guests and handle cleaning and changeovers, they can advise you of local suppliers who will be happy to help.
If you decide to join the Blue Chip Holidays portfolio, our Portfolio Development Managers will explain the contract and introduce you to the business before putting you in contact with our Property Marketing Team. It is the Property Marketing Team who will organise the professional photography of your property and get you onto our website. They will work with you to ensure that your property is described accurately and gives potential guests as much information as possible. As soon as you are on the website, we can start taking bookings. If you employ a property manager, we will liaise with them for you. We will manage all communications with your guests too from sending directions to collecting feedback after their visit. Each month you will receive a statement, outlining all future bookings and detailing your earnings. If you would like to use your property yourself, simply call or email our Sales and Customer Service Team who will be happy to book those dates for you.

Thinking of buying a holiday home?
If you want to buy a holiday home that will achieve great bookings and an impressive weekly rental, there are a few things you should consider. Location is obviously important. Ask yourself the obvious question – would I like to go on holiday here? Great views will sell a property and look appealing in our brochure or online. Close proximity to local facilities will enhance your guests’ holiday experience making repeat bookings more likely. There are guests who are prepared to walk up steep steps or navigate narrow streets to get to that special location, but you will maximise bookings if your property is easily accessible, making it attractive to those with small children or limited mobility. Quaint fishermen’s cottages do not often come with off-street parking. Parking is desirable, but if it is not possible at the property you are considering buying, think about whether you could provide a permit for a nearby car park. Many tourist areas are very busy in high season and it is off-putting to guests if they have to park some distance from the property. Old character properties book well and appeal to those seeking an escape from busy lives. New developments may have less emotional appeal but are easily maintained and are built to the latest standards and lend themselves to luxury modern interiors.
