Frequently Asked Questions

• How much does it cost to advertise? jmlvillas.com is a very efficient low cost way of marketing your holiday vacation home property. The annual cost is only £50.00 including VAT (or local currency equivalent) is a lot less than it would be to advertise in a specialist magazine or in a newspaper for ONE MONTH! The advertisement will be there all year and unlike magazine or newspaper advertising you have a world wide market. We have thousands of visitors to the site each month.
• How can I Pay? You can pay on line by credit card via Secure Trading and HSBC Bank. The amount equivalent to the advertising fee in local currency is debited to your Credit / bank debit card. Visa — Mastercard — Delta — Maestro — Solo (American Express & Diners Club are not accepted). As soon as we know the payment has been made and the contents manually checked, your details go live. (You can pay for longer periods e.g 2 years, 3 years and up to 5 years)

  Alternatively you can post us a cheque for The advertising fee drawn on a Sterling bank account (we cannot accept cheques in euros, dollars or other currencies because of the high bank conversion charges) payable to Jeffrey Milner Ltd and post it to jml Property Services, PO Box 80, Princes Risborough, Bucks HP27 0WA, England. This is of course is a much, much slower way, as we have to then email you and advise that you can then submit your details, whereas when you pay by credit / bank card on line, you can have your property live on the site in a matter of minutes.

• How will I be invoiced? Once we have received your payment we send by email attachment a receipted Invoice...
• How long does the advertisement run for? The advertisement will run for twelve months and we will contact you towards the end of the period so it can be easily renewed. You can renew the advertisement again by credit card / bank card payment. You can of course pay for up to 5 years advertising initially or when you renew an advertisement.
• Will the advertisement go live as soon as I submit it? As it has to be checked initially by the the administrators, it will not go live immediately, particularly if it is submitted over a weekend, public holiday or during an evening. We will endeavour to put your ad live as quickly as possible and email a VAT receipt. The period of advertising will start from when the advertisement goes live. However if an advertiser pays, but does not submit his or her details, the period of advertising will start as soon as the receipted invoice is prepared.

• Will the advertisement be automatically renewed and my credit / debit bank card be debiited ?The advertisement will not be automatically renewed. We use Secure Trading and HCBC Bank to process the payments on line and the payment system we have on jmlvillas.com is not automated to take payments from you without your knowledge every year.

You can renew the advertisement yourself by going into the owners section and supplying your credit / bank card details as you would have done with your initial advertisement payment. You can renew for up to five years if you prefer.
• How do I know if people are enquiring about my property? You will automatically be emailed enquiries. We keep your email address hidden on the site to prevent the address being added to organisations wanting to add you to spam mailing lists.

(see section below)

Some clients have advised that they have never received an enquiry and they have, the person making the enquiry has not used the contact page on the advertisement page, but contacted the advertiser through their own web site that they have followed the link to. Many advertisers include a telephone number and are contacted that way and naturally jmlvillas cannot provide any tracking in that case.
• I see on the Statistics that I have received a number of enquiries, but I have not actually received those enquiries — Why would that happen Your computer might interpret jmlvillas.com email as spam and you should try a test email to see if this is the case and then modify your computer to allow emails from the jmlvillas.com email system to be received.
