ST ANDREWS ACCOMMODATION IN DEMAND FOR

OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP IN JULY

NEWS RELEASE
Around a third of properties marketed for let during the 2015 Open Championship over the Old Course, St Andrews in July  have already been snapped up by eager golf fans and companies looking to entertain clients.
Local property company Pagan Osborne has listed more than 200 homes on its site www.opengolf2015.co.uk and is urging companies, organisations and golf fans hoping to rent a property for the July 16th to 20th major tournament to act quickly to secure suitable accommodation.
Linda Black, property manager Fife at the legal, financial and property company, said:
“With the event just six months away, we are dealing with a high level of inquiries from golf fans and corporate bookers and have already let a significant number of homes.
"We have a mixture of properties from small flats in the towns surrounding St Andrews to large town centre guest houses. The most popular are certainly those that are within walking distance of the Open Championship and there will not be many of these available for much longer.”
Letting experts have visited more than 370 properties and are currently accepting the final batch to market on its portal.
The average rent for the week of July event is £5,900 with the least expensive rental, a one-bedroom flat in nearby Kingsbarns, let for £1,500, and the most expensive, a guesthouse on The Scores which sleeps up to 20 people, being marketed at £55,000.
