While the potential income for lettings is well documented, in a crowd of adverts on RightMove and Air BnB what does it take to maximise your rental profits?
We have put together some top tips to help you attract the right tenants to your property, to help you maximises your rental profits.
Choose the Right Location
Choose the right location for your rental property, to attract the right tenants. For example, if you are looking for students to rent your property make sure it is near a college or university. If you want to attract long term family tenants then ensure the property is near local schools, transport links and local amenities. Then shout about these things in the accommodation advert to show potential tenants just how great your property is.
Get Professional Photos
Tenants want to find a property that is well presented and in a great location. You can write about this in the property description, but it will come across much better in photos. The right photos of your property will engage the person looking for their next home. By using a professional photographer you can be assured that you’ll have the best lighting and angles for all the photos. Your property will look its best and you’ll be easily maximising your rental profits.
First Impressions Count
It’s important that you make the best possible first impression, in regards to you and your property. Your potential tenant will want to know they have a reliable landlord that they can trust if things go wrong. They will also want to view a home that is well looked after with small repairs completed. A dodgy front door lock or damaged paint work on the wall could be enough to make your potential tenant look elsewhere.
Highlight Amenities
Things like off road parking, a shed or a downstairs toilet could be exactly what your tenant is looking for. Make sure you really highlight these amenities when talking about your property. If you’re not sure what special features your property has then check out other properties and you’ll quickly see what you thought was ‘the norm’ is actually a big benefit for a tenant.
