Getting a house ready to rent can be the last thing on a landlord’s mind. Firstly, there are all the pressures of buying the property or going through paperwork if you’ve inherited it. Secondly, letting property is a business – chances are that you’re quite focused on property management and gaining an income. However, getting a house or flat ready to rent is a vital part of the process. Unlike selling a house, where the new owners can paint over your design choices, potential tenants will have to live with whatever they see at the viewing. The property needs to be safe, above all, and it also needs to attract the right tenants and be easy for them to look after. In this blog, we’ll look at the most important things to consider when you’re getting a house ready to rent.
