Winter Lets Conditions

The Alicante region is known for its winter sunshine and mild climate which brings many clients from all over northern Europe looking to escape the snow and cold in their country. That is why Somos Rentals offer our clients a Winter Let option.

A Winter Let rental is offered during the low season on selected holiday rental properties. The season starts from 15^th September until 31^st May, however, this is dependent upon the weekly holiday bookings that the property may have. As we may have holiday bookings that run into October or later and some that start earlier in the year.

The Winter Let contract is a seasonal contract for a limited time only. Tenants do not have the right to extend their stay, only with permission from the owner.

Winter Let prices are more economical that normal Long Term monthly prices as they do not benefit from the hot summer months and use of swimming pools. These higher season months are rented at a weekly price which is a much higher rate.

The monthly rental price does not include water, electricity, gas or internet. These are charged separately to the tenants when we have received the bills from the supplier.

The minimum rental period that can be contracted is 3 months. The maximum period can be 8.5 months.

If a client would like to rent a property for less than 3 months, then the monthly price will be incremented by 33% for a 2 month contract and 50% for a 1 month contract. These contracts must be agreed with the owner and are specific for certain periods when properties have gaps between other bookings.

Therefore, a property with a monthly price of 500€ on a 3+ month contract, would increase to 665€ per month on a 2 month contract and 750€ per month on a 1 month contract.

Utility bills can vary. It is reliant on how big the property is, how many tenants are staying at the house and how many hours of the day they are in the property. These different factors have a great influence on the amount you will pay.

Here is a general estimation of a typical rental expenditure per month:

500€ Rent

30€ Water

80€ Electricity

30€ Internet

=

640€ total
