The recession has meant that increasing numbers of Londoners are under financial strain. Homeowners may be interested to hear that they can make money by renting out their empty house whenever they are away on holiday - a common-sense way to boost your income. If you have a nice home, why not open it to guests? Just remember you will need to be prepared in order to make the most from this wonderful opportunity.
If you are going to allow people into your house it is important to take some time to make sure you are ready. Firstly, begin by cleaning your house as thoroughly as possible. Then consider where you are going to store items precious to you; some people like to keep one room out-of-bounds and then place any fragile goods in there. Alternatively, there are many good storage specialists who will be able to assist you. Finally, always ensure that all surfaces and table-tops are clear from clutter as your guests will want to use them freely.
People who stay in your house will be on holiday. Help them to enjoy this time by encouraging them to treat your home as their home for the duration of their stay. Always provide them with a few helpful kitchen items like tea and bread; these small things can make a big difference in helping your guests to settle in. You can leave a note reassuring your guests that they are free to use the things in your cupboard.
You can improve your guests experience by leaving them some chocolate or wine (sure to brighten up a rainy day). This will display the fact that you care about your guests. In fact many guests will repay this goodwill with a gesture of their own....
Make your home look its best - it is your shop-front. Improve the little things to make your visitors really see the best of your home. Freshen up any old paintwork (inside and out) and replace tattered furniture. These touches will help to make your guest feel satisfied and may even encourage people to return in the future!
Remember, everybody makes mistakes. To prevent accidents turning into catastrophes leave some basic maintenance tools, light bulbs and some batteries in your home. Always service your electrical equipment. Finally, provide your guests with the telephone number of a trusted friend who could help in the event of a major problem with the house.
Use your local knowledge to help your guests get to know the area you live in. Leave some advice on where to go and what to do. Helping your guests to find the best restaurants and events will enhance their stay and may encourage them to return.
A map of the local area can make a great gift to your guests. Why not mark down the best route to well-known tourist attractions; remember your knowledge could really improve their holiday.
