Property Maintenance
What Makes a Property Attractive to Tenants?
Beyond location and price, a handful of practical factors consistently matter to tenants.
Condition and cleanliness
A clean, well-maintained property lets faster and attracts tenants likely to look after it in turn - first impressions at viewing matter as much as they do for a sale.
Practical features
Off-street parking, outside space, and storage all rank highly for many tenants, particularly families - worth highlighting clearly in marketing if the property has them.
Responsiveness once let
How quickly repairs get sorted has a real effect on tenant satisfaction and how long they choose to stay - which, in turn, affects void periods and re-letting costs for the landlord.
