Ball & Percival are once again delighted to have been appointed by R&A Championships Limited as The Official Letting Agents for The Open Championship 2008 at The Royal Birkdale Golf Club. This is the fourth time that we have been awarded this prestigious honour by The R & A.

As the Official Letting Agents, it is our responsibility to provide a register of high quality exceptionally well presented properties to meet an established need to players and support teams, media and members of the golfing fraternity. The 10 day Open Letting Period will commence mid-day Saturday 12th July 2008 until mid-day on Monday 21st July 2008. Accommodation will be required within a 10 mile / 20 minute radius of the course and should be fully furnished and most importantly equipped to a high standard having regard for the rental levels to be achieved.

We anticipate that for the period of the championship there will be a requirement for approximately 300 quality residential properties, ranging from one bedroom apartments through to larger 5 & 6 bedroom houses with appropriate facilities. Larger accommodation units will be considered on an individual basis on their particular merits.

There will also be a requirement for a small number of properties in the twelve months leading up to the championship for the extra organisational staff that will be employed on site during that period.

Ball & Percival are the only Official Letting Agent for The Open 2008 and have an experienced and dedicated team in place under the direct supervision of Partner Karen Potter. Karen and her Team are available at all times to answer any questions that you may have.
