BOOKING CONDITIONS

1. To reserve a property, the client should complete and sign the booking form and return it, together with payment of the initial non-refundable deposit (25% of the total rent due). Following receipt of the booking form and deposit, the owner will send a confirmation. This is the formal acceptance of the booking.

2. The balance of the rent is payable not less than six weeks before the start of the rental period. If payment is not received by the due date, the owner reserves the right to give notice in writing that the reservation is cancelled. Reservations made within eight weeks of start of the rental period require full payment at the time of booking.

3. Subject to clauses 1 and 2 above, in the event of non-insurable cancellations, refunds of amounts paid will be made if the owner is able to re-let the property, and any expenses or losses incurred in doing so will be deducted from the refundable amount. The client is strongly recommended to arrange a comprehensive travel insurance policy (including cancellation cover) and to have full cover for the party's personal belongings, public liability etc. since these are not covered by the owner's insurance.

Covid policy - 25% deposit applies as normal but this will be returned should you need to cancel due to virus restrictions.

4. The maximum number to reside in the property must not exceed that stated on this form.

5. The client agrees to be a considerate tenant and to take good care of the property and to leave it in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the rental period. The client also agrees not to act in any way that would cause disturbance to those renting or living in neighbouring properties.

6. The client shall report to the owner, or her representative, without delay any defects in the property or breakdown in the equipment, appliances in the property, and arrangements for repair and/or replacement will be made as soon as possible.

7. The owner shall not be liable to the client:

For any temporary defect or stoppage in the supply of public services to the property, nor in respect of any equipment or appliance in the property. For any loss, damage or injury which is the result of adverse weather conditions, riot, war, strikes or other matters beyond the control of the owner.  For any loss, damage or inconvenience caused to or suffered by the client if the property shall be destroyed or substantially damaged before the start of the rental period and in any such event, the owner shall, within seven days of notification to the client, refund to the client all sums previously paid in respect of the rental period.

8. Under no circumstances shall the owner's liability to the client exceed the amount paid the owner for the rental period.

This contract shall be governed by English law in every particular, including formation and interpretation and shall be deemed to have been made in England. Any proceedings arising out of or in connection with this contract may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in England.
