5 Reasons To Make Your Holiday Property Accommodation Accessible To All

Whether you are a holiday home owner offering summer lets or are planning to buy a property abroad or invest in a buy to let rental, it is important to ensure that your real estate investment maximises the returns it generates. AccessibleAccommodation.com is a specialist property rentals website which brings together private houses, villa and apartment accommodation, small hotels, B&B’s, caravans and even castles which all have one thing in common…. they are accessible to all people including those with disabilities and reduced mobility. Here are the 5 best ways to ensure your holiday property reaches its full potential and make sure your private accommodation is accessible to more holiday makers and a wider, potential rental audience.

1. Accessible To All
1 in 8 people have a mobility /disability problem in the UK and worldwide the number is huge. By opening your property up to a wider audience including those with reduced mobility you then make it truly accessible to the whole market place.

2. Tis The Season To Be Renting
Most holiday home owners have no problem filling summer and high season holiday lets but when it comes to finding rentals cover those less popular off peak holiday periods marketing your property gets a little trickier. Many elderly or travellers with reduced mobility prefer to holiday out of the main vacation seasons. A listing on the Accessible accommodation website allows you to target this travel niche and book more holiday rentals and boost your occupancy rate and fill out those missing weeks.

3. Two Heads Are Better Than One
Your approach to marketing your holiday property online in ideal world should cover a spectrum of the traveller niches. Combine advertising your holiday home on larger sites with smaller specialist letting websites such as Accessible Accommodation to target a range of holiday property niches. Smaller sites may appeal to a smaller audience but charge significantly less too.

4. Make The Most of Your What You’ve Got
Making your property accessible to people with reduced mobility or families with young children doesn’t necessarily mean incurring huge expense to adapt your property or being close
a Clinic or hospital. If you already own a ground floor or garden property your property may already be accessible to wheelchair users and a few simple changes such as removing unnecessary internal doors to facilitate easier movement between rooms or adding a ramp to outdoor spaces may be all that is required to ensure your property appeals to a wider audience of potential renters.

5. Making The Grade
Online property rental websites are consistently improving their searchablility for both users and owners. Make the time to properly ‘Grade’ your property, so potential holiday makers can quickly ascertain if your property fits their needs. Take advantage of search features such as Google Maps to pinpoint your listing so that potential clients can see how close your are to local amenities, the airport etc. 24/7 access to your listing means you have no excuse not to keep it updated with any special offers, information about last remaining week and new area attractions local to your property. If you have your own personal property website, utilise the ability to allow listing viewers to link through to your website for more comprehensive details.

In a recent Savills survey of overseas second home buyers, half of all respondents cited investment as the main reason for purchase with rental potential being the most important financial consideration influencing their purchase. Boost the rental potential of your holiday home by making it accessible to all.
