Setting Up Your Property – What Tenants Expect

Setting Up Your Property – What Tenants Expect

Tenants today have certain expectations when it comes to renting a property. Meeting them not only helps you let your property faster, it keeps your tenants happy and your investment protected.

🏡 Furnished or unfurnished?
Most tenants expect at least basic furnishings. Beds, seating, kitchen essentials, and good storage make a property feel like home from day one.

🛋 A safe, well-maintained home
Safety is non-negotiable. Smoke alarms, gas and electrical checks, and clear emergency information are all part of a responsible letting. Regular maintenance keeps your property in good condition and avoids costly surprises.

💡 Extras that make a difference
Small touches, like reliable Wi-Fi, white goods, or even simple kitchen utensils, can make your property stand out. These extras often lead to longer tenancies and fewer void periods.

📊 Presentation matters
A clean, well-staged property photographs better and attracts more tenants quickly. First impressions count, so invest a little time upfront to make your property shine.
