Most small companies have even smaller beginnings and Pam ventured into the Spanish rental market in 1994. With two apartments to rent at Villacana close to Estepona on the Costa del Sol it soon became apparent that the demand for accommodation for a major part of the year far outstripped that provided by just two apartments. Initially the surplus was absorbed by other owners in a similar situation but a germ of an idea for a business was being born.
Pam Turner Ltd was formed in 1995 with the purpose of marketing privately owned properties in order to find rental clients for property owners. In 2002 the name was changed to Lets Try Spain Ltd which seemed more appropriate and reflected our website www.letstryspain.com
The aims of the Company are:
- For the client: to organize and provide suitable and well maintained holiday accommodation for families on the Costa del Sol.
- For the property owner: to provide good occupancy levels of course but also an efficient money collecting and key issuing service too. It was decided at an early stage not to retain owners money for six months which is not an unusual practice in this type of business but to pay out immediately.
To ensure that these aims are met the Company insists on inspecting all properties before adding them to our portfolio and reserves the right to carry out regular inspections. We work closely with those looking after the day to day running of each property and notify them promptly of arrivals and departures.
A Client Account is used into which all rental money is paid and all rental money has to be paid six weeks before arrival at the property. If it is not then the keys are not issued.
In 2008 we started accepting all major credit cards which are assured will generate more business.
The Company currently has a wide range of properties between Marbella and Estepona on the Costa del Sol: private villas with pools, 1 – 4 bedroom properties on developments with shared pools and town based apartments. Most are within walking distance of a beach and have close proximity to bar and restaurant facilities.
