Are you looking for professional help to rent out your property in Tarifa? We’re glad you found us!
At SimplyTarifa we are experts in holiday rentals and, as our name reveals, completely focused on Tarifa! We take great pride in the value we provide to our clients. Not only do we save you a lot of time and worries, we are also very good at what we do! This means happy guests, high occupation and maximum rental yields. Our service is commision based, so cost depends on the amount of bookings we obtain for you. A win-win deal and a guarantee that we will do the best possible job.
Let us show you what we do and how we do it:
To get maximum returns from your rentals, you need to be on top of your revenue management. Although configuring your listings, availability and rates on sites such as Airbnb is easy nowadays, to really leverage the potential of these platforms you are going to need a proper pricing strategy. Variables such as season, competitor offer, bank holidays, weather and all kinds of other factors are continuously changing and you will need to adjust your pices, offers and minumum stay requirements accordingly.
As you can imagine, this becomes a pretty time consuming task, especially if you are advertising your place on more than one platform. It is also a challenging task; how do you know what price to set?
At SimplyTarifa we have plenty of experience in this area. We are familiar with the particularities of the holiday rental market in Tarifa, but we also leverage the power of data by analysing historic and current market and competitor trends. This allows us to set optimal pricing at all times, translating in high occupancy rates and revenue.
To get maximum reach under your potential guest base, you don’t want to be present on one platform only. Airbnb is certainly the biggest for short term rentals, but you would be missing out if it is the only site where you advertise your place. Other key players are Homeaway, Booking, TripAdvisor, Expedia, etc. At Simplytarifa we use multi-channel software that allows us to manage our ads across several platforms at once. Without such software it would be nearly impossible to have your rates and calendars up to date across all of these Booking portals, at all time.
The guest experience is one of the key pilars for a succesful holiday rental project. Not only do you hope your guests will come back some day, you also want them to speak good about you. Their opinions will make future guests decide for your place!
Looking after our guests is our top priority and we take great care of this. Communication has to go smooth and responses to queries need to be instantly. We enjoy a personal touch with our guests and we love to tell them about all the great stuff to do and visit in Tarifa. We also want to make them very comfortable and do our best to make them feel home with little details such as a welcome package.
Testimony that we do all of this pretty well are the opinions and ratings we have received from our guests over the years. At Airbnb we have held the SuperHost status ever since we started. All of this contributes greatly to our succes, but it also fills us with pride; we simply enjoy this aspect of our business the most.
Especially now, with the Corona Virus, cleaning and hiygiene is obviously more important than ever. For many it is an area of concern and a decisive factor to choose for your place or another. Our cleaners follow strict guidelines and we make sure that not one area is left untouched. We use special sterilising cleaning products and we dispose our guests with hand sanitisers. Every cleaning job gets quality checked thoroughly. After verifying that everything is inmaculate, we also check with our guests whether they have any concerns about hygiene after the first day of their stay.
Although it is not part of our standard package, we offer a number of additional services that are greatly appreciated by some of our clients.
Interested? Please get in touch. We are always happy to have an informal chat and help you with any questions or doubts.
Since May 2016 anyone advertising their holiday home as tourist accommodation in Andalusia is required to register with the Junta de Andalucia (Andalusian government); bringing it in line with many other regions in Spain.
Officially known as Decree 28/2016 (viviendas con fines turísticos), Andalusia’s holiday rental law makes it compulsory to obtain a VFT number prior to entering the rental market. So how do you go about registering? And why is it so important?
A VFT is a legal registration number that confirms a rental property is legally compliant with Article 7.1 of the Andalusia Touristic Laws.
Anyone planning to advertise and rent out their property on a short-term basis – maximum 60 days – to paying guests will need to obtain a VFT number.
The minimum requirements to register a short-term holiday rental in Andalusia are as follows:
Unless you have an electronic signature (firma electrónica) – in which case you can complete the whole process online – you will be required to complete the online registration form, print it off and present the completed form at your regional tourism department, or submit it via the post office (correos).
Having been registered on the Guardia Civil (police) and Junta de Andalucia systems an inspection of your property will be carried out during the application process. If your property does not meet the structural requirements of the decree, e.g. you do not have air-conditioning or heating, you will be given one year to ensure the property is fit for rental.
Upon successful inspection of your property you will be assigned the all-important VFT number; allowing you to rent out your property in accordance with the relevant legislation. The whole process should take between one and three months from submitting your registration form.
This change to the Andalusia tourism laws aims to reduce income tax fraud in the local rental market. It is hoped that by registering rental properties and issuing what is essentially a licence to rent the local authority will be able to monitor the huge number of landlords in the region more effectively.
The new system should provide greater clarity around how authorities define a short-term rental property. A previous lack of clarity enabled many landlords to avoid complying with the law.
