Q. Can all holiday homes be let through the Guaranteed Letting Scheme?
A. Yes. But there are certain criteria that need to be fulfilled, please ask a Kingsdown Park Advisor for more details.
Q. How many years can I have this Agreement?
A. The Agreement, entered into at the time of sale, is initially only for up to 24 months.
Q. What happens if my holiday home is not let by Kingsdown Park - are you going to ask me for the money?
A. No. The responsibility for letting your holiday home for the weeks you have agreed lies with the Park Team, not the Owner. If your holiday home is not let by us during a week we should have, we will still honour our Agreement with you.
Q. Will the 'Guaranteed Letting' pay next year's park fees?
A. This depends entirely on the amount of 'Advanced Letting Income' you wish to put towards the sale and how much you wish to put to your account at the end of the particular letting season. Your Kingsdown Park Advisor will be able to give you specific advice.
Q. How else can I spend my Letting?
A. The majority of our owners choose to put their Holiday Letting income towards the following year's fees, as this significantly reduces your annual running costs. However, this 'Guaranteed Letting' is confirmed prior to the commencement of the letting period and so can be used towards the cost of the initial Lodge purchase.
Q. Who pays for the cleaning?
A. This is all part of the package and the costs are borne by the Park.

Q. Do I have to pay for electricity, breakages & replacements?
A. Yes. As an owner with a Guaranteed Letting Agreement you will be responsible for all running costs. Repairs and replacements are billed as and when they occur and fuel will be billed as per your lease terms.
Q. Can I claim Tax Relief?
A. In some cases, yes. Please ask your Kingsdown Park Advisor for full details.
Q. What if I want to change my agreed letting weeks?
A. We will endeavor to accommodate our owner's wishes wherever we possibly can, although there are no guarantees as it does depend on availability. We must, however, ask for a minimum of one month's notice of any requirements you may have. Should you occasionally wish to buy back part of the period, which is allocated to the Park for letting, we will require the sum of money for that whole period immediately (only full weeks can be bought back, not part weeks). Should you wish to transfer one of your 'Owner Booked Weeks' for a Park week, any difference in monies must be paid accordingly; you can only transfer one week for one week.
Q. Can I let outside the Guaranteed Letting period?
A. If you are on a Guaranteed Letting Agreement you are still able to let your holiday home outside of the agreed letting period. Please remember that your holiday home will not be let automatically when you are not using it. Please note that Letting is not 'agreed' when letting outside of the 'Guaranteed Letting Agreement' Plan. Your Kingsdown Park Advisor can give you more detail on this.
