Reg No: 16992872
Jurisdiction: England & Wales
By making a booking with IC Property Collective LTD ("we", "us", "our", "the Company"), you agree to the following terms and conditions.

The Booking & Contract Formation

1.1A booking is confirmed once full payment is received and acknowledged by us.

1.2All bookings are for short-term stays for leisure, business, or temporary purposes only and do not create a tenancy or lease.

1.3Bookings made via third-party platforms (Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.) remain subject to these terms once signed.

1.4Minimum guest age: 18. The lead guest must stay at the property and is responsible for all occupants.

Payment, Security Deposits & Cancellations

2.1Payment must be made by debit/credit card or bank transfer before arrival.

2.2Full payment is required to confirm the booking unless otherwise agreed in writing.

2.3We reserve the right to request either a non-refundable damage waiver of £34.99 or a refundable deposit of £300. Deposits are returned within 14 days of check-out minus any evidenced deductions.

2.4Direct-Booking Cancellation Policy

  • You can cancel your booking up to 30 days before check-in date free of charge.
  • Bookings cancelled within the 30-day period before check-in are non-refundable.
  • Cancellations within 24 hours of booking receive a full refund, provided check-in is at least 2 days away.
Note: If you have made a booking through an online travel agent such as Airbnb or Booking.com, the cancellation policy is as stated on your booking confirmation. Processing fees may apply.

2.5We reserve the right to cancel bookings within 5 days of the reservation start date where necessary due to reasons outside our reasonable control or in the event of an overbooking due to delays or errors in the booking system. In such cases, the client will receive a full refund.

2.6Our pricing is dynamic and therefore the price for the same or similar accommodation may vary over time after your booking is made.
