International property website, TheMoveChannel.com, is partnering with the online holiday rental marketplace HomeAway.co.uk, to provide free advertising for all pay-per-booking HomeAway customers. As part of the collaboration, TheMoveChannel.com and its partner networks will showcase HomeAway rental properties, free of charge, to its 3 million daily users.

The move also enables visitors to TheMoveChannel.com to search through over 1 million HomeAway.co.uk properties, see rates and availability, contact the owner and pay online through a simple and secure Book Now button. TheMoveChannel.com owners with properties listed for free on HomeAway.co.uk will pay 10% commission, excluding VAT, once bookings are confirmed. The online booking and payment system ensures every transaction is secure and homeowners have a 24-hour review period to accept or decline booking requests, so they have full control over who rents their property.

“Because holiday rental owners only pay for the bookings they receive and there are no fees to pay upfront, they can rent their homes out without financial risk,” says Director of TheMoveChannel.com, Dan Johnson. “Overseas property rental is becoming increasingly popular and with a third of UK pension holders are said to be considering buy-to-let property in 2015 thanks to changes in pension annuities that start in April, demand is set to grow further.”

Mark Spencer, UK Business Development Manager for HomeAway, comments: “This is an exciting partnership for HomeAway.co.uk that will enable even more families, friends and groups of all sizes to find the perfect property for their holidays. It also brings us a step closer to our mission to make every holiday rental property in the world available to every traveller in the world.”
