Accommodation Windsor Limited is a lettings-only service whereby we will provide interested parties with available properties that need to be of a high standard. Upon your instruction we will visit your property and take a sequence of photos of every room and feature of your apartment or house. We will take a detailed description of what you offer and create an optimised webpage linked from our accommodation-windsor property rental website.As we mainly deal in the short term lettings market, we seek tenants that are looking to stay for any period from 1 week to 6 months. Typically these are working executives on extendable contracts that may book an initial two month period and end up staying for 4 or 5. Their stays are never guaranteed though and for this reason we are usually able to charge a slightly higher price than you would pay for a guaranteed six month assured shorthold tenancy agreement.

Similarly we often have families and individuals relocating to Windsor who are looking for a permanent home and need short stay accommodation while they search for suitable property to buy. These stays often get extended as it takes some time to find property and for the sale process to go through. Families on holiday, visiting Legoland Windsor or sightseeing in London, tourists from abroad and ex-pats returning home all need a place to stay for a short period and if you are able to offer a home from home with all modern conveniences, and an all-in price with rent and utilities included, then we can help match short term renters to your apartment or property. |
We
check the credentials of every interested party. We take copies
of passports and driving licences for overseas visitors, credit
card details to secure deposits against potential damages and we
check that companies are bona-fide and have a trading history. We
do not expose landlords to the risk of unpaid rents. All rents have
to be paid in advance and renters must sign an agreement (booking
form) to rent for a duration and to leave the property in a similar
condition to how they found it. We take pre-authorisations on credit
cards to ensure that renters are genuine and have the funds to pay
if something goes wrong, and we ensure that we meet in person every
tenant going into a property and that funds have cleared through
our bank well before arrival. We invoice tenants and companies for
rent and similarly request an invoice for rents repaid to you.
On
holiday lets we ask for a non-returnable deposit in advance with
the balance payable at least four weeks in advance of arrival. The
notice period to cancel a booking is four weeks and no refunds are
given unless a property is able to be re-let. An admin fee may be
payable by the tenant/renter to change or cancel a booking without
enough notice period.
On short term lets we ask for a minimum notice period of four weeks
to cancel or change a booking. We also bill for rent four weekly
in advance. We pay our landlords on time and keep them informed
of amendments or extensions to bookings.
On long term lets (six months or more) we provide an assured shorthold tenancy agreement. We collect a deposit of 6 weeks rent plus one month's rent in advance.
In all cases we need to have an agreement with you to sublet your property. Our fees are paid by the incoming tenant who pays a higher rate than you are asking for your property. We provide additional services to the tenants i.e. bedding, towels, local maps, cleaning (if required), local information, late check-ins, taxi companies, etc. and are a point of contact for any problems. We also can arrange to pay your utility bills for you (chargeable option) and we usually make rental payments online by BACS transfer. We can keep copies of your keys in case of loss or emergency entry requirements or if you are on holiday.

One of our landlords recently said this about us:
"Its been good working with you at Accommodation Windsor at
all times you have been very professional and helpful. I have personal
reasons for having to move to a more permanent tenant for the time
being but I hope that if my situation changes I would have an opportunity
to return in years to come? . Working with short term tenants and
the service you provide would always be my preference
Thanks again for all of your hard work! "
Sam Pilcher.

We look forward to hearing from you!
