Yes - Producing a good quality property advert is critical to the success of your listing. It needs to be eye catching, informative and easy to read. Ultimately, it's the quality of the text you write and the photos you use that will sell your property, with photographs being the single most important element. It's an old cliché but in this case, a picture really is worth a thousand words! When you click 'advertise with us' button we will happily send you through an easy to follow advertising pack contain a step by step guide.

To add up to 6 photographs to your property advert is a simple process. If you have photos stored in a digital format on your computer, then as long as these are in jpg format and larger than 165 pixels wide, you can then just e-mail them to us, or put them or a CD just making sure that they are clearly labeled and of good quality. Alternatively you may send a selection via conventional post for us to scan them in free of charge. If you would like them returned, please let us know.

Once we have received all the text and photographs our aim is to have them on the site the same day your cheque is cleared, although this can take a little longer at weekends.

The prospective holidaymaker will contact you directly, either by e-mail, post or by phone. If by e-mail, the request will follow a standard format.

The standard charge is £60.00 per year which when you think about is just over a £1 per week. We will however make a reduction for second and subsequent properties - please contact us to discuss this.

Which ever way you feel most comfortable, you may write to us, email us or pick up the phone and call us. Ideally it would make our life easier if you can e-mail us your text but we appreciate that this is not always possible.

No. You are only requesting the gite owner to get in touch with you and provide further information. You make your booking directly with the property owner when you are satisfied you have selected the right property for your holiday. There is no commitment on either side until the deposit has been paid.

The information you provide is sent automatically to the owners of the property or properties you have selected for further details. They will use it to get in touch with you. It is not disclosed by us to any other party.

We ask the holiday home owners to reply as soon as they can but there may be genuine reasons why there is a delay.

The reservation is made directly with the property owner simply click on the availability/enquiry button located under the property main photograph.

It is the responsibility of the advertisers to maintain the accuracy of the information they have displayed. We do not take responsibility for any inaccuracies and urge all holidaymakers to undertake their own confirmations that the holiday property is as stated before committing to a booking. You need to think of our site as an advertising medium for owners and agents, much like a newspaper or magazine.

All dealings regarding a property booking are made between the holidaymaker and the advertiser. Select Lettings solely provides an advertising service and does not participate in the booking process, each owner will explain their individual requirements.
