Take a holiday Stay in your property for a couple of weeks as if you are a paying guest- make sure that you do have all the basic essentials. Double check Check every room, the garden, balconies and outbuildings for any problems that need to be fixed. Neighbours Introduce yourself to your neighbours and let them know your intentions. They may be able to recommend local services or help with key holding. Rubbish Find out when the rubbish is collected and where the local recycling centre is. National holidays Enquire locally as to when national and local holidays are so guests know when amenities are likely to be closed. Emergencies Compile a list of emergency contact details for guests during their stay. Also make sure you have a fully stocked first aid kit. Local attractions Keep a list of good restaurants and collect local attraction leaflets and guides. Leave these in a file at your holiday home. Forward thinking. If you can't finance any big projects such as building a swimming pool now, then budget for them in the near future. Concentrate on making existing features stand out.
