Villa Owners Terms

Please read our terms for villa owners. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

1 Advertising Fees

Advertising your property on our website is free of charge.

We will first visit your property to take photos and obtain all the necessary information for our website.
If you are abroad, we can still visit and take photos if your friends or neighbours have a key.

We will ask you to advise us of the net prices per week that you would like to charge for your property throughout the year and we will then add our profit to this for advertising.

If you are advertising your property elsewhere, you may wish to consider discounting these prices by around 15% so that the prices promoted on our website are not too high. We work with many villa owners in this way to ensure that we offer competitive prices to maximise bookings.

2 Reservations

When we receive a reservation, we will email you in a standard format presenting all the information you need. We do not confirm the reservation with the customer until you confirm that you are happy to proceed. We then finalise the booking and debit the customer's card accordingly.

3 Payments

We will raise a cheque payment to you on the Friday following the customer's departure.
If you have a Sterling account at Garanti Bank, we can make a direct deposit.

4 Property Management

We do not offer property management service, however we do insist that all owners have a property management service in place. This service should cover the following:

  • Cleaning & pre-arrival preparation of the property
  • Pool maintenance & regular cleaning
    (a minimum cleaning service of once a week when the property is inhabited, preferably twice weekly.)
  • Gardening as necessary - Your property should look very similar to how it is shown in our website photos (obviously maturity of plants is expected)
  • Bill payments
  • Emergency response from a representative of the property management if required.
    (We will require an emergency contact telephone number for our records.)

5 Minimum Rental and Changeover Days

We have a minimum 6 day rental policy and changeover days are flexible to maximise the number of rentals.

6 Time of Arrival and Departure

The property must be ready by 3:00 pm on arrival day and will be vacated by 12:00 pm on the departure day, however if there is not an immediate booking in advance or to follow, we would ask for flexibility on these timings to maximise the number of rentals that can be achieved.

7 Cancellation by Us, the Company

If we cancel the booking, in advance of 8 weeks, we do not pay any money.

If we cancel the booking, between 8 weeks to 4 weeks, we pay 50% of the booking amount.

If we cancel the booking, in less than 4 weeks, we pay 90% of the booking amount.

Amy Villas reserve the right to cancel a booking placed and confirmed by you "the owner", within 7-days of your confirmation being received, for reasons of non-payment by our customer.

8 Security Deposit

A security deposit of 100.00 British Pounds is billed and held by Amy Villas against the possibility of loss or damage to the property and contents, in excess of general wear and tear.

The owner must inform Amy Villas within 7 days of customer departure if there is any damage or loss of items. If we are not informed within 7 days, we reserve the right to automatically refund the deposit in full to the customer.

Please note that major damage in excess of 100.00 British Pounds should be covered with necessary buildings and contents insurance by the property owner.

9 Availability

We display an availability chart for all rental properties in our booking system.
This maximises the number of rentals since the customer, the company and the villa owner will not waste time over a booking which cannot happen due to the property not being available.

It is the responsibility of the property owner to advise us of all reservations received from other sources in order that we can maintain the calendar for your property.

10 Rental Tax

Villa owners are fully responsible from declaring their rental income and paying rental tax to the TRNC government.

 

We reserve the right to make minor changes to our terms and conditions to meet our business requirements.
