I've spotted a potential opportunity in the form of a holiday let. I'm currently trying to get an idea of overall costs.
When it comes to cleaning and changing the sheets between visits I don't really have a clue on costs. I am a little too far away to make it feasible for me to do it. Has anyone any experience of this. And how long would you expect to pay someone for this 1hr -2hr? I think most people tend to leave as they find so a quick once over and fresh sheets. Or am I being optimistic.

I guess there's companies out there that cater for this which charge the earth, whilst the other end of the scale would be a local lass who's looking for a few extra quid.

What should I budget.

Really that much?
I was thinking less. £25 ph is a lot for a cleaner, but then you are putting an element of responsibility and trust in them so maybe that's fair enough.

Crikey. Ok, so reading this has made me realise just what's involved in a holiday let.

Certainly more to consider.
