Please note that Owners Properties Direct (OPD) is a gateway for Owners/Managers and those looking to rent property.
We are in no way responsible for any dealing on this platform including loss of financial activity.
It is your responsibility to confirm that both parties are legitimate and wherever possible proof of ID has been shown.
As for those renting property, its good advice that you contact the owner and obtain a land line number.
Read reviews that they may have on other websites, this will help you in making the right decision.
When booking, it may be a good idea to ask if the property is on the market (up for sale) at the time of your chosen dates,
Some owners will rent their property while trying to sell, this should be pointed out at the time and if so see legal paperwork showing that the new owner will honour the currently existing bookings once sold.
