Thanks, exactly as I thought.

Hi, I am the owner of a second home in Cornwall that we use ourselves and rent out through a local holiday company when not in use. It is a stone cottage that needs airing to stop mould and salt growing on the walls, especially as just before lockdown we had work done to divert a seasonal stream, which made everything very damp, including a newly laid floor. I anticipate scrubbing walls, repainting, jet washing the algae residue from the stream, applying salt inhibitors etc. We do the work ourselves and as we’ve already lost 3 months rental income, we can’t afford to pay a tradesman. All the housekeeping staff have been furloughed, so no one has been in since late Feb. The cottage is in a remote hamlet, with a large garden and not in any of the traditionally overcrowded tourist hotspots of Cornwall. We live a good 6 hours away, so it’s not feasible to not stay over night to check on the property, or if we did, we’d probably be so tired on the return journey, we’d likely have an accident and be a strain in the nHS. Also the work involved would take the best part of a week. As we let it through the holiday letting company and as it’s very popular, we had bookings from last year, so could potentially begin to reinvite guests in July. We are then fully booked July through to mid October, therefore the house needs to be ready in order to do that. We also want to use the house ourselves, which we normally don’t do during the main 6 wk school break, but as we now can’t go abroad, for our pre-planned holiday in Mexico in August and as we haven’t been able to visit our second home,as usual, we feel reluctant to let paying guests/strangers go in our stead. Advice please? We would like to go next weekend, as it coincides with our daughters half term, so easier to fit around her online schooling. She’ll happily sit in the garden and read.
