How to prepare your property for the rental market
A practical starting point for presenting a clean, functional and appealing home to prospective tenants.Start with function
Check that doors, windows, locks, lights, taps and fixed appliances work as expected. Small unresolved faults can distract from an otherwise strong property.
Make presentation count
A thorough clean, tidy outdoor areas and simple touch-ups help people understand the home at its best. Clear rooms also tend to photograph more effectively.
Gather useful information
Have key property details ready, including utilities, parking, access arrangements, complex rules and any features a prospective tenant should understand.
Position it thoughtfully
The rental amount and marketing approach should reflect the property’s condition, location, features and current local market—not only what similar homes once achieved.
