Maintaining a holiday let is a key consideration for owners where paying guests can be in the property.  Ensuring they have a enjoyable stay without problems will help lead to repeat bookings.

However from time to time, things can go wrong, from boiler faults to more random occurances, for example a seagull flying into a patio window (it does happen) or a leak in the roof.  Dealing with any issues promptly will keep guests happy who feel they are important and have received excellent customer service.

So whether the maintenance work is planned or an emergency, having aa action plan for a property many miles from where you live is crucial. If you have a local keyholder or cleaner in the area, it will make dealing with any issues a lot easier.
