Definition
Looking for a holiday home? You're bound to come across plenty of adverts, but how can you tell which ones are worth your time and money?
Tips
Here are a few things to look out for when evaluating holiday home adverts:
1. Check the photos. Are they professional quality? If not, it could be a sign that the property isn't as nice as it's being made out to be.
2. Pay attention to the details. Is the description clear and concise? Does it mention all the amenities that are included?
3. Compare prices. Don't just go for the cheapest option, but make sure you're getting value for money.
4. Read the reviews. If there are any, see what other people have said about the property.
5. Contact the owner. Ask any questions you have about the property, and get a feel for them as a person.
