Benefits of Booking Direct
We have provided everything you need and what’s more, book direct and you’ll enjoy the best rates for our holiday home.
These Terms and Conditions of Hire are a contract between 247Lets Ltd and you the person making the booking and all adult members of your party who will be staying in any of our properties. By making a booking or staying in one of our apartments you agree to abide by these terms and conditions.
We permit you to occupy the property for the agreed hire period only and subject to these Terms and Conditions of Hire, such occupation being by you personally and only such guests named in the booking, and to use the Inclusive Services. The actions and omissions of any visitor to the apartment are your responsibility.
You must be 21 years or over when you book your accommodation. We reserve the right to refuse to accept any booking for whatever reason. We accept your booking when we issue our Booking Confirmation email. You may arrive at your accommodation after 3pm (unless early check has been requested) on the start day of your booking and, unless otherwise agreed, you must leave by 10am on the day of check out. If you fail to arrive by midnight on the day of the start date and do not advise us of a late arrival we may treat the booking as being cancelled by you. If you want to increase your length of stay we will do everything possible, subject to availability of accommodation, to find something suitable for you. Be aware, this may not always be possible. If the number of people permitted to occupy an apartment is exceeded (which would be in breach of Health and Safety Regulations) we reserve the right to move excess occupants and charge for additional apartments or require the excess occupants to vacate the property.
The following terms apply to payment:
To secure your booking payment in full must be received by us in cleared funds at least 7 days before your arrival date.
Should payment of the full amount not reach us before then, we reserve the right to cancel any bookings made and any deposit paid will be forfeited.
If you fail to pay any sum that is due under this agreement when due, then you will pay us, on demand, interest on the unpaid sum in accordance with (if you are a business) the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 (as amended) or (if you are a consumer) 4% above the Royal Bank of Scotland’s base rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until we receive payment in full cleared funds, whether before or after any judgment.
We expect the apartment to be left in a reasonable state on departure, including rubbish being placed in rubbish bins, and soiled dishes being placed in the dishwasher or the sink. If, at our discretion, additional cleaning is required on departure, the cost of this cleaning will be charged as an Additional Charge.
UK legislation provides that smoking is not permitted in any properties. Smokers must vacate the building should they wish to smoke. Where there is evidence of guests smoking within the apartment, we reserve the right to charge £100 for specialist cleaning, as an Additional Charge.
Anyone found using or under the influence of illegal drugs or substances classified under the Misuse of Drugs act (1971) will be reported to the police and asked to leave the premises. Any evidence or suspicion of drug use on our premises will also be reported immediately to the police.
No daily housekeeping service is provided – While linens and bath towels are included in the unit, daily maid service is not included in the rental rate. However, it is available for an Additional Charge. We suggest you bring beach towels. We do not permit towels or linens to be taken from the property. Extra linen and towels can be ordered by emailing hello@247lets.co.uk between office hours (9am to 6pm) London UK Time Zone) and can only be delivered within these times.
Falsified Bookings – Any booking obtained under false pretence will be subject to forfeiture of advance payment, deposit and/or rental money, and the party will not be permitted to check in.
Please ensure that you inspect the Apartment on check in. Unless we receive notification otherwise within three hours of check-in we will be entitled to assume that you have fully accepted that the condition of the Apartment is in good repair, condition and in a clean and tidy state and you will waive any right to claim otherwise.
Risk of damage to the Apartment and its contents will pass to you on check-in and remain with you until the Apartment is returned to us. You shall be liable for all loss or damage (except fair wear and tear) caused during the rental period, and for any reasonable loss of rental resulting from such loss or damage.
A pre authorised security deposit to cover your obligations under this Agreement is taken prior to check-in. This may be in the form of a payment or an authorisation to deduct payment from your debit or credit card used to make the Booking. Any security deposit paid will be returned to you in full (or any payment authorisation cancelled) upon the Apartment being returned to us in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Where you are liable for additional work, loss or damage, we may withhold some or all of your deposit to cover the same and our administration fees associated with repairing or dealing with the work, loss or damage. These will be Additional Charges.
Valid credit/debit card details must be supplied at the time of booking, in the event of damages to the apartment these card details will be used to charge the appropriate amount. We reserve the right to deduct from the relevant credit/debit card, without prior notice, all amounts chargeable under the conditions.
The apartments should be left in a reasonable state on departure, if (at our absolute discretion) we consider additional specialist cleaning is required (for example carpet cleaning to remove a stain), or an excessive amount of time to return an apartment to it’s previous state (ie glitter) we will charge an additional fee of £25 per hour. When the duration of the booking is in excess of 28 days, a discretionary final cleaning charge of up to £150 may be charged. If an apartment is deemed unfit for occupation, you will be obliged to pay compensation to us for loss of revenues in addition to the costs of cleaning and repair.
We reserve the right to charge £150 (in addition to the general cleaning charges) for specialist cleaning to an apartment and/or its contents where it is left in an exceptionally bad condition or if we believe smoking has taken place in the apartment.
Additional Charges which may be payable include those items specified in the Booking and any specified in these terms and conditions. Where Additional Charges (including charges for damage) are payable, you hereby authorise us to take them from the credit or debit card used to make the Booking, or from the security deposit, up to the pre-authorised amount which is detailed on the Booking and can be between £100 to £500. Our hold on your credit card will normally last for five days from the date of your departure. Where Additional Charges exceed the pre-authorised amount you will be invoiced for the excess. If no credit or debit card was used in the Booking, you must pay Additional Charges by another means acceptable to us. All Additional Charges are due after the check out inspection, or on the check-out date, unless the context otherwise requires. If you fail to pay any Additional Charge within 14 days of the date of our invoice requiring payment of the same, you will incur an administration fee of £50 to cover the costs of sending you our debt collection letter, which will follow.
In the unlikely event we have to cancel or make a change to your accommodation we will use all reasonable efforts to contact you as soon as possible to explain what has happened and inform you of the cancellation or change. If possible, we will offer alternatives, but should these alternatives be unacceptable to you the booking will be treated as cancelled and we will refund any money you have paid to us within 14 days of any cancellation. 247 Lets reserves the right to make any changes or amendments to any booking at any time. If it is necessary to amend a booking, we would make every effort to allocate a similar apartment, either in the same or a similar development, this may however not always be possible and another alternative may be offered. We are not obliged to provide any reimbursement or compensation for amendments. We reserve the right to ask you to leave the property for any reason we see fit.
We shall not be liable for changes, cancellations or any other effect on your booking due to events beyond our reasonablecontrol (force majeure), including (by way of example only and without limiting the generality of the foregoing) terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural or manmade disasters, fire, and adverse weather conditions.
We shall have no liability to you for the death or personal injury to you or any members of your party unless this results from an act or omission on our part. Any guest using their own electrical appliances (hairdryers, curlers, tongs, shavers, personal computers, personal stereos etc.) must use the appropriate adaptor. Non-UK plugs used without the appropriate adaptor/transformer are a serious fire risk. Please ensure that all heated appliances are switched off and stored safely before leaving the apartment. Guests found to be in breach of this rule may be asked to leave with immediate effect. You must take all necessary steps to safeguard your personal property and we accept no liability to you in respect of damage to, or loss of, such property unless caused by negligence on our part.
