How to Make Your Rental Property More Attractive
Whether you have a large portfolio of properties or you’ve just put your first home up for rent, the last thing you want is it not being snapped up. There are always tenants looking for new homes, so make yours stand out! Luckily, there are a few easy ways of ensuring that your property is appealing that won’t leave your flat or house empty for long.
Read on for some top tips.
Keep the decor modern and simple
While you may love bright blue walls and red carpet, this doesn’t mean that everyone else will. Instead, keep the decor simple and modern by using neutral paint, plain carpet or hardwood floors. Garish decors can be a big no no for tenants, but a fresh, timeless look is much more appealing.
Invest in high-quality fixtures
Many landlords will spend the bare minimum on things such as bathroom and kitchen fittings, but over time these can get easily damaged and look very old. Spending a little more on nice worktops and a sparkling bathroom can go a long way and tenants will be more likely to accept higher rental prices.
If you can, supply white goods in your property including a washing machine and fridge. You will have more interested from potential tenants and this is a great way of showing that you’re a good landlord. Asking tenants to supply all of this can get very expensive especially if you are only offering short tenancy agreements but providing these necessities means they can be used for every tenancy and high-quality products will last for years to come which is cost-effective for you.
