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.

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.

Serviced accommodation often gets attention for the higher nightly rates it can generate. On paper, the income looks much stronger than a traditional tenancy. But the full picture is more complex, and the costs can take many first-time investors by surprise.

Not all agents work the same way, and the differences can have a big impact on your returns. Here’s why investors choose us to manage their portfolios.

Thinking of letting your property in the next few days, weeks or months? That’s a smart move if done right. Letting brings opportunity, but there are also responsibilities. If you prepare now, you’ll get better returns, fewer surprises, and less stress.
