Simple steps to attract your next tenant

Good as new

Keep your property well maintained. Too many landlords wait for an offer before committing to repainting or refurbishing the property, which can be a barrier to attracting a tenant.

Feeling fresh

Keep it clean and book in a weekly or fortnightly maid service.

Curb appeal

Sort out the garden or terrace for a better first impression of the exterior. Some artificial grass and plants will work wonders.

Meet the expert

Make sure the broker is proactive in taking your property to market, not just waiting for the phone to ring.

Be realistic

In a price-sensitive market, don’t over price your property, but at the same time do not give it away.

Location, location, location

Be aware of your location. Being next to a construction site can be off-putting to tenants, so price it appropriately. But be reassured this only short term.
