having done something similar in the past with ex pat friends for 10 days while we went on holiday, (no fee involved just our plain old generosity) there is no way i would let out my home. they could offer me £5,000 for the week and i would still say no !!!!!!!

Why? What was your (bad) experience?

I have just posted a thread before i saw this.

http://www.rydercuphomerental.co.uk looks quite professional compared with some of the others.

would this give your property a better chance of renting it the advert look professional.

can you really make £££'s from this, arn't bed and breakfasts a better option or will they be all booked up...

the more and more i think about this, the more i'm tempted. i'm figuring i could rent out my house, go on holiday whilst they're in and then tidy up when i get back.
just don't like the idea of someone being in my house, and also worried about the tax side of it, i know i'd lose my tax credits for that year and i know that the profit would be more than my tax credits, but i'm just not sure how much i'd be better off.
mmmm something to keep thinking about i guess!!!

Alex Popham I understand has a property rental company somewhere and I did hear onthe grapevine that houses in and around the Celtic Manor were going for about £20k a week. Whether at this present time they still are who knows.

this is what i heard.

as long as you declare your income to the tax man you will be ok, as far as tax credit go the amount you could get would surpass any amount of tax credit.

The are is going to be a nightmare for 2 weeks, i am going to give it a go and go away on holiday for 2 weeks.

i guess it would be best to start to get my house advertised now with a good advertising website.

Happens a lot in Edinburgh during the Edinburgh Festivals - there are even 1 or 2 companies who specialise in this during August to ensure it runs smoothly.
