We have a house in florida that is fully booked. We have decided to sell this and want some advice on how too really.. We live in Sheffield and dont know where to begin. We cannot let the company know who do the bookings for us and look after the maintainance as they will stop all the bookings, so does anybody want to buy a business £270.000 English pounds.
15 mins from Disney
5 bedrooms
2 masters
3 bathrooms
private pool
excellent location.
Due to a divorce I cannot afford to keep the mortgage up which is £420 a month.
If anybody knows how to sell, please PM me with some ideas.
Thanks

If it's fully booked does it not cover the mortgage? I would have thought you would have been better to flog it in America. Can you not tell the agency that you don't want any lets after XX date, then stick it for sale pointing out that it will not be vacant until then?

It will take a year to sell over there with the market, thats why we want to sell the house with all the bookings. The maintainance company replace everything more or less everytime someone has been in, which costs money, we have tried talking to them but they dont listen, I suppose we could change the management company but then cannot get to stay in the house as its booked so no where to stay.
It does make money, but that pays for the house, the mortgage still needs to be paid.

so....are u saying you are trying to sell a business for 1/4 million that after overheads does not make a profit. new buyer will also have to find £400 a month.
I'd look at sacking that management company....seem to me thay are ripping you off. Telling you all new stuff everytime a new booking walks through the door...yeh right.. :rolleyes: A house that size in that location and mostly fully booked per year should earn enough to earn profit and pay the mortgage.....

I agree, and we are looking at that, but how do we know that another management company will put Virgin holiday bookings in and leave it immaculate everytime a guest has been in, we cannot go over there every week to check this information.
I dont want criticism I want to know how if anybody knows of a way to sell this house in England and how we would go about it.
Thank you.
I can't see why anyone would want to buy it as an investment though, since you've admitted that it isn't making any money.
In which case selling it in the domestic market is probably your only choice.
sign it over to me and i will carry on the mortgage payments
