First impressions count, so the initial presentation of the property will determine the quality of the tenant and the amount of rent that they are willing to pay. Therefore, presenting your property in its best light is helped by addressing the following:
- Assess the condition of the paintwork both inside and out;
- Lawns and gardens should be neat and tidy;
- Floor coverings should be in good condition;
- Kitchen and bathroom facilities should be in good working order, with no mould or grime, and no leaking taps;
- Window coverings should be fitted to allow adequate privacy;
- All rooms and appliances such as heaters should be clean and tidy;
- The property should be odour free;
- The yards should be secure, so ensure that fences and gates are in good condition;
