Letting your property

• Always put yourself in the shoes of potential tenants
  By providing an attractive letting property, you’ll be able to attract better tenants and reduce empty periods.
• Leave a little left-over
  Avoid the temptation to spend so much on buying your property that you can’t afford to bring out its maximum potential. If you need to make improvements, get them done. As well as letting benefits, they can add to the capital value of your property.
• Look for double rooms
  If a flat has two bedrooms, the second should be a double. A reasonably large single bedroom could still fit stacker beds or a 4' 6" bed. If you have only one bedroom, consider a sofabed in the sitting room.
• Minimise all your property’s negative features
  A badly shaped room will need all the design help it can get. A dark room should be lit in the best possible way – large mirrors can be a great help.
• Supply attractive extras
  Properties with a garden or terrace, working fire, power showers, built-in music system and sophisticated lighting are always more appealing.
• Keep the property in first-class order
  Redecorate and improve on a regular basis and between tenancies if necessary. Tired decoration and worn appliances won’t just reduce monthly rental, they also reduce appeal which leads to longer periods between lettings.
