'TIS THE SEASON TO MAKE LOLLY
London home rental club offers innovative way to cash in on Christmas
Christmas can prove both a stressful and expensive season, with the festive build-up often combining with last-minute panic shopping to take some of the merriment out of the yuletide celebrations.
London's full-service home rental club Vive Unique is hoping to bring tidings of great joy to the Capital this Christmas by highlighting how renting your home out when you're visiting relatives, or off in search of winter sun, can prove an effortless way of bringing in extra income this month.
“There's no doubt that the countdown to Christmas can be an expensive time of year but, with the next few weeks traditionally proving one of our busiest periods, we hope to give London homeowners an opportunity to offset some of these costs and provide a timely boost to household income,” explains Jonny Morris, Vive Unique's Founder & CEO.
“Once on board, the only thing left for a new homeowner to do is to let us know the dates they'll be away and our team of property experts will take care of everything else.”
Vive Unique reports that the demand for good quality family homes and characterful apartments in zones 1 and 2 always rockets over Christmas, outstripping supply and creating an extra opportunity for canny Londoners. Last year more than 50% of Vive Unique's Christmas bookings were made in November and December.
As it can take just one week between the initial enquiry with Vive Unique to making that property available for holidaymakers, there's still time to take advantage of the anticipated last-minute rush for bookings.
“Aside from the financial benefits, the fully comprehensive insurance cover and member rewards programme, many homeowners like the peace of mind of knowing that their homes won't be empty while they're away and that those gifts from Santa will still be there when they return.
“And, with the cost of Christmas taken care of, we hope it really will prove the most wonderful time of the year for more Londoners,” added Morris.
