Essential Steps for Seasonal Rental

Moreover, declaring the furnished tourist accommodation in your town hall is mandatory. For this, you must fill out a declaration of furnished accommodation or a request for a change of use authorization.

Putting Your Property Up for Rental Through Our Real Estate Agency: How Does It Work?
You have chosen to put your property up for rental through us, rest assured, you can still enjoy your lodging if you wish. For that, you just need to notify our holiday advisor and block the dates when you want to stay in your accommodation.
Regarding the rental price of your lodging, we set it based on several criteria:
The Location and Environment of Your Accommodation
Obviously, real estate properties located in the heart of the station are highly sought after and the prices are thus higher. The same goes for the environment. A lodging at the foot of the slopes will logically be more expensive than an identical lodging 5 kilometers from the lifts.
The Nature of Your Property
Chalet? Apartment? The nature of your lodging influences the price. This is also the case for intrinsic characteristics such as decoration, architecture, outdoor space, etc., and for the equipment provided like a jacuzzi, a barbecue, or a swimming pool.
The Competition
We conduct a competition study and identify the positive points that can boost the rental price of your lodging.
The Season
Rates can vary depending on the season; renting a chalet in winter does not have the same price as in summer. The end-of-year festivities also drive up prices. Our agency knows the market it operates in and adjusts prices all year round.
