I am new to this forum and I am looking to rent a Villa for the first time in August 2008. I need to book in advance because this is a very busy time and I don't want to end up without a place to stay. My dilemma is that whilst securing a villa with a deposit and signing the contract, how would that protect me if the owner has to sell it because of financial difficulties? Would the new owner still honour the booking? If not how can I be sure that I would get my deposit back? These contracts that we sign are they really legally binding? I mean normally when you go on holiday you will always look for a travel company that is ABTA bonded to protect you.
Also do the management companies help in situations like this?
