RENTAL INCOME

This is a highly successful gite business, with many repeat bookings and forward bookings for 1-2 years ahead.  This property has an above average rental track record, justifying the asking price.  Further details on request.  Vendors say “We are more than happy to go through all our business plans/operation & what we do to keep people coming back year on year with a new buyer and do a thorough handover so that they can continue to make a success and grow the business if they want to.  If someone wants to expand, we have more than enough business to support more units.  I am sure anyone would be naturally cautious with taking over but we can genuinely reassure our buyer that we have a really sound, honest business here and we too would want to see it continue.”

 PRICE: 630,000 Euros, including agency fees
