Sonneil is hopping on the tourist rental wave. This Spanish proptech that specializes in the commercialization of second homes has launched a new rental service for tourist housing: Sonneil Rentals. The company will manage all the services related to renting, such as the reception of guests, charges, check out, cleaning, decoration, and laundry.

According to data registered by the National Institute of Statistics (INE), overnight stays of non-residents in tourist apartments represent 84.6%. "Given the growing demand for an investor client profile or a client who wants to obtain extra income from their homes when they are not using them, Sonneil has developed an area of ​​their business to be able to serve these clients and provide them with the tools they'll need to accomplish this," explains Alfredo Millá, CEO of Sonneil.

"We have found that offering the vacation rental service to potential buyers is a very effective sales closing tool. In this way we increase the conversion ratio of our sales while giving a customer service, improving the perception of our resources," continues Millá.

To advise its clients, Sonneil creates a differentiating profile of the houses through decoration services and photographic reports to manage it in more than 200 online booking platforms. The total synchronization of prices, availability and schedules allows homeowners to get the most out of the house. In addition, Sonneil will offer legal support, monitoring, and monthly reports, so that the owner can know the status and results of their home.

In addition, Sonneil will also offer a 24-hour reception service for guests. During the 'check in', the operation of the house is explained and recommendations of places to visit are offered. In the 'check out', the state of the apartment is checked. Every day the identification card is sent to the relevant authorities in terms of citizen security, which allows identifying the guests.

Finally, the company will also offer cleaning services, repair, maintenance and replacement of laundry, with the development of homes to adapt to new guests.

"An empty house can mean annual expenses of over 2,000 euros on average. With this service, we help owners get the most out of their properties without worries," says Millá.
