Hello,

I'm exploring the idea of renting my home in SE22 to holidaymakers in the summer, advertising on Airbnb or someone similar.


But I would really like it to be managed by an agent, who does meet and greet, linen, cleaning etc.


Does anyone know of a company that does this? I have contacted a number of these agents, and no one seems to 'do Dulwich'!


Many thanks!

Hi - I'm afraid I don't but am also considering the same re Airbnb and wondered if any other hosts can advise what they did re their home insurance - our current provider can't cover the scenario and from Googling it, it seems other providers may be similar. Any help much appreciated!

Hello, I've heard that 'Pass the keys' service this area if that's any help. Or you could try Easy Rental Services.

If not you can hire linen via Nestangel.com - they offer one hour time slots for the delivery of bedding & towel bundles. I've not used them before but will be trying them out this summer!

Hope that helps!

Lucerne - regarding Insurance Airbnb have hosts covered up to ?1m in damages - details are here:

You can also ask guests to give a security deposit which is held by Airbnb and released once the rental is complete. It is normal to ask for up to around ?500.

Most I've stayed in do have security deposit included but it's not debited from you unless there's damage and even then only if you accept the damage has been done. if you don't accept then it goes through the airbnb resolution centre and they investigate further

I used airbnb to rent my spare room for a while..

I had no prob for little while but my last experience was so bad with the guest and the way airbnb dealt with it that i no longer advertise on their website anymore

I had minor probs with little damages on the propriety in the past but nothing major although think airbnb could have dealt better with it anyway but mainly it was cause of last guest that i decided nit to use them anymore and...never ever again..

My last guest was a "difficult" one...she decided to leave the house the morning after check in without informing me and.. without closing the door ..

she informed airbnb only on a nearly 50 days booking. You could tell she has some issues reading past reviews but i thought it wasn t big deal but it was..

A part from the guest itself , airbnb dealt very badly with the situation...very very badly!

Since than i decided not to advertise my room anymore

i am also looking for other solutions at the moment..

there is anyway plenty of other websites they do pretty much same thing but i have no experience with them yet

holidayletting.co.uk

also booking.com

bedycasa

spareroom

etc

Best with it but i strongly do not recommend airbnb! If things go smoothish no big deal but otherwise they are very bad..

best of luck

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
