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

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
