Thanks everyone for their contributions. It seems to me that although 2009 will be tough there is always hope. For owners it will be a tough year, whether the rental income is a fundamental requirement or a luxury cutting in half for 2009 will be painful. Cost cutting measures can be taken and impro...

Thanks for your comment Joanne. You're very right to point out that life does still go on through all of this. The advice given to you when you bought was very sound as you can not depend on rental income. In my situation which I am sure is similar to many others I do not require the rental income t...

That's an interesting point Graham.

It would make sense for non renting owners to do so, and I think that some probably will.
However I think that number will be small. If those owners were bothered about the money earned from rental income they would have been renting it out in previous times.

A discounted price does not mean you will get groups of people looking to trash the place. I'm sure like I, most owners request the names and ages of guests as part of the booking process. So the rental price should have nothing to do with the types of guest but will have an effect on the number of ...

2009....All doom and gloom??

After what has been rather depressing news recently with regard to the economic downturn and the collapse of Sterling, I wanted to start a thread to gauge people's opinions on what 2009 will bring in terms of holiday rentals. The weak pound makes visiting continental Europe a much more expensive opt...

Live music should be available everywhere, there's a distinct lack of it available all across continental Europe and the UK. Dylan's question evoked such a response and it was oh such a simple question. All case of mis-understanding I think. Incidently I know Dylan and it was actually his wife who p...
