3 tips for renting fully furnished apartments

In the current climate, the rental market is diverse as ever. Tenants are seeking out the city and the country with equal fervour and though they may differ greatly, demand is fairly steady for landlords in all circumstances.

And wherever your rental property is located, providing a fully furnished home can be a major factor in attractive potential renters, particularly school leavers, university goers or graduates moving out of their parents’ homes for the first time.

If you’re looking to rent out a fully furnished property, these are just a few tips for getting your place kitted out.

1. Choose the right furnishings

The furniture you choose should be reasonably aesthetically pleasing in order to increase the appeal of your property.

But it should also be built to last, so a little extra investment in the present could prevent you from forking out again later in the future.

That doesn’t mean you have to spend beyond your means from the word go, and in fact there are plenty of reasonably priced vendors whose products will stand the test of time.

From household appliances to other furnishing essentials, such as beds, you want furniture that needs replacing as infrequently as possible and will give your tenants a comfortable living experience. Archer’s Sleep Centre offer a wide range of furnishings and specialise in beds.

2. Create an inventory

Most tenants are trustworthy, but it’s good to know exactly what you have in your property, and to have that confirmed on paper.

You should also try to keep tabs on how long you’ve had certain items, as it can be useful to know when replacing them – this particularly goes for household appliances which may be covered by warranties for replacement or repair.

It’s also a good idea for your letting agency to have a copy of your inventory. Some letting agents will even check it on your behalf as tenants move in and out for your peace of mind.

3. Keep excess to a minimum

Neutral décor gives your tenants an opportunity to make their home their own, so keep ornamentation to a minimum and stick to unobtrusive colours – think the beiges and monochromes of the Dulux shade range as opposed to anything too vibrant or adventurous that might count as an acquired taste.

Allow your renters to make the most of their space without unnecessary clutter. Whilst the essentials should be covered, it’s also good for them to have some additional space to bring in extra furnishings of their own, should they wish to. In the era of working from home, many people may require desks to be able to carry out their jobs remotely. If you wish to provide this, a compact foldable set-up might be best.

Want to rent out your investment as a fully furnished property? These are just a few tips to fill your rental with the right stuff for your tenants.
