Having your property ready for tenants

The standard rental property comes fully furnished; few come to the market unfurnished. The furniture can also depend on the size and layout of the property.

• Hob
• Fridge Freezer
• Washing machine
• Dryer / Clothes Horse
• Cutlery
• Crockery
• Saucepans

• Mattress protectors, to reduce wear and tear
• Beside Lockers
• Wardrobes
• Garden Shed, Lawn mower should be supplied where there is a garden / grass area.

Properties should be thoroughly cleaned between each tenancy and redecorated where required, always make sure oven and extractor fan are clean and bins empty. Try to have the property feeling like a home not a standard rental property, and have it appealing for people, this can sometimes involve spending some money on throws, cushions candles, flowers, pictures, a bit of painting or mirrors, but can greatly assist you in finding suitable tenants that will see the property as a home and treat it like a home.

It is advisable that once viewings commence, the property is essentially available to move into, repairs should be completed, clutter removed, previous tenants or landlords belongings removed.

Remember your tenant is looking for a home to live in, not a stop off point, and it is stated in the contract that the property must be returned to the landlord in the same condition they received it, besides standard wear and tear.
This is a guideline of standard rental property, your letting agent will advise you on what is needed and to be done.
