Before letting your property, there are a number of legal factors you’ll need to consider, some of which are listed here; however for detailed guidance contact a solicitor.

• Are you permitted to let?

• If your property is located on a complex, are there rules which you or your guests need to be aware of?

• Have you got insurance cover in place for the building, contents and your guests?

• What are the tax implications of letting your property?

Setting the standardTo ensure quality and standards all properties are inspected prior to inclusion. As a quick guide, they need to meet the following criteria:

• All properties must be ready to let, and conform with French health and safety regulations, as must private swimming pools

• All appliances and fittings need to reach EU safety standards, including electric and gas installations and fireplaces

• Public liability insurance is essential – your insurance company will have details

• A local caretaker must be available to welcome clients, collect the breakage deposit, for cleaning and maintenance (including grounds and pools), and to be on hand in the event of problems

• Your property must have attractive décor throughout – quality, tasteful furnishings and lighting, curtains, blinds or shutters at all windows plus good flooring

• Heating needs to be compatible with the location and period of letting

• There must be at least one bath or shower room with hot running water

• Stairs need to be safe, well lit and equipped with a handrail

Am I ready to let?

Is your property suitable?Neutral decor has a wider appeal and it is important to de-clutter. Wi-Fi is considered an essential for many clients.

Here are just some of the things our inspectors will look for when they visit:

Kitchen We check that the kitchen size is appropriate, that appliances are in good condition and that kitchenware is of acceptable quality and in sufficient supply. There must be adequate storage space, good work tops and appropriate ventilation.

Sitting area We expect comfortable seating, a coffee table and ideally a tv and dvd player. Books and games add a homely touch.

Dining area There needs to be sufficient chairs and a table large enough for all guests.

Bedrooms We recommend good quality beds, bedside tables and lighting, headboards, sufficient wardrobe storage and a full-length mirror. Our inspectors check mattresses, bed bases and all bedding. A mix of single and double beds plus a cot means you can accommodate a wider variety of parties.

Bath/shower/wc Bathrooms must be tastefully decorated and equipped, and also be well ventilated. They need to have storage, towel rails, clothes hooks and mirrors. We expect shower areas to be tiled and screened.

Outside There needs to be adequate parking/garaging and we expect the garden to be well tended and to present no hazards for children. A barbecue and sufficient garden furniture should be available.

General Your property will need an iron, ironing board, clothes line, pegs, dustbins, spare fuses, light bulbs, a torch, washing-up liquid, toilet rolls, salt and pepper.

We ask clients to keep the property tidy, so they must have use of dusters, mop, bucket, broom, vacuum cleaner, dustpan and brush and cleaning products.

Local tourist information is also always appreciated.
