In order to secure the best ‘blue-chip’ tenants and maximise the rental potential of your investment, here are a few tips to be aware of:

First impressions are all important – ensure the exterior of your property is in good decorative order and plant up any window boxes or tubs
Make sure your property is in the best possible order throughout but focus particularly on the kitchen and bathrooms
Choose neutral colours for the paint finishes, carpets and curtains and ensure you use reputable contractors to carry out the works for you to guarantee they are done to a high standard
Kitchens should be fully fitted with modern appliances, stone, ceramic or wood flooring and granite work surfaces
Bathrooms should also be part or fully tiled with chrome fittings and power showers are a particular attraction
Properties often fall down due to lack of storage – make certain bedrooms are generously fitted with cupboards and ensure bathrooms have good storage space too
In addition, don’t forget the outside space at your property – attractively presented gardens and terraces make a real difference too, especially in the spring and summer months, so spending a little money on planting can be a great investment

Other points to note . . .

If you property is held on a lease or is subject to a mortgage, written permission may be required in the form of Consent to Let, either from the freeholder or the mortgagor.
Are you aware of the legal requirements for your property, such as Gas Safety (Installations in Use) Regulations 1998, the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994, the Furniture & Furnishings Regulations 1993 and the Finance Act 1995. We are able to advise you on all of these.
