Having all the necessary paperwork in order helps avoid penalties and gives both the owner and the guest peace of mind.<\/p>\n
2. Check the compulsory equipment<\/h2>\n
The regulations stipulate a number of minimum requirements, but there are also features that customers now consider essential.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t miss out on:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Air conditioning or heating, depending on the season, in all rooms<\/li>\n
- Stable, high-quality Wi-Fi<\/li>\n
- Basic household appliances in use<\/li>\n
- Full range of kitchenware (depending on the size of the accommodation)<\/li>\n
- Smoke detectors in areas near the kitchen<\/li>\n
- Bed linen and towels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
At HOMA, we supply all the necessary textiles directly: bed linen, covers, towels and basic items, ensuring consistency, quality and comfort. We also stock all the kitchenware required for the apartment. <\/p>\n
3. Choose your d\u00e9cor carefully without overdoing it<\/h2>\n
The d\u00e9cor has a direct influence on guests\u2019 perceptions and their decision to book.<\/p>\n
Recommendations:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Use neutral, light colours, and avoid fabrics such as sofas or chairs that are too light in colour, as these tend to require more maintenance.<\/li>\n
- Go for a simple and cosy interior design<\/li>\n
- Avoid delicate or hard-to-maintain furniture<\/li>\n
- We do not recommend expensive works of art or items of high value<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A holiday home should be attractive, practical and able to withstand frequent use.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n4. Check the general state of maintenance<\/h2>\n
Before you start renting, please check carefully:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Taps and plumbing<\/li>\n
- Household appliances<\/li>\n
- Blinds and windows<\/li>\n
- Locks<\/li>\n
- Full lighting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Minor technical faults can quickly lead to bad reviews. At HOMA, we carry out an inspection of your property to ensure that everything is in working order. What\u2019s more, with our basic or comprehensive maintenance contracts, we carry out monthly or fortnightly preventive inspections. Want to find out more? Take a look at our Services<\/a> <\/p>\n
5. Professional photographs<\/h2>\n
Images are the key deciding factor on platforms such as Airbnb or Booking.<\/p>\n
A good photo shoot should show:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Bright spaces<\/li>\n
- True amplitude<\/li>\n
- Attention to detail<\/li>\n
- Terraces, views and outdoor areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A well-photographed property can significantly boost bookings. Once again, at HOMA we take care of organising professional photo shoots to show your property in its best light. You can also opt for a video presentation or a 360\u00b0 view of your accommodation (subject to prior consultation). <\/p>\n
6. Decide who will be in charge of day-to-day operations<\/h2>\n
Before you start, decide:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Who will look after the guests?<\/li>\n
- Who will coordinate the cleaning?<\/li>\n
- Who will resolve incidents?<\/li>\n
- Who will update prices and availability?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Many property owners underestimate this aspect, and that is where professional management makes all the difference. As a company with over 20 years\u2019 experience in the sector, these issues \u2013 which can pose major problems for individual property owners \u2013 are simply the foundation of our services and the driving force behind our operations. Choose a holiday management company like HOMA if you want to keep everything under control. <\/p>\n
