Finding Reliable Tenants and Maximising Rent

Finding Reliable Tenants and Maximising Rent

The right tenant can make or break your letting experience. Good tenants pay on time, look after your property, and stay longer. Here’s how to find them and get the best return.

🔍 Careful tenant vetting
A thorough background check is worth its weight in gold. References, credit checks, and employment verification all help avoid future issues.

💬 Clear communication from day one
Set expectations early about rent payments, maintenance, and responsibilities. Being upfront avoids confusion and builds mutual respect.

📸 Strong marketing gets strong tenants
Professional photos, well-written listings, and targeted advertising attract better tenants faster. Presentation really does pay off.

📈 Know your market value
Price your property correctly. Too high and it sits empty, too low and you lose income. Market knowledge is key to maximising rent without scaring off quality tenants.

🛠 Keep your property in top shape
Well-maintained homes attract better tenants and justify higher rent. It’s simple: people take better care of places that feel cared for.

Think you need a huge deposit to buy your first home? Not necessarily. While the old “you need 10% down” rule still applies for most buyers, there are lenders out there offering 100% mortgages — meaning you could buy your first property without putting down a penny in savings.
