2012 is now in full swing and it is the perfect time to let your house. We have been flooded with enquiries from prospective tenants looking for properties all over Bristol.
Intire are property letting agents and are perfectly placed, because they cover the entire Bristol lettings market, to
find a tenant for you.
Here are a few tips in how present your property for viewings if you are looking to rent your property:
Firstly, the best presented properties will let more quickly and achieve the higher rents. Prospective tenants will form an opinion about a property within the first 15 seconds – so it’s important to show your property to its best possible advantage.
Second, when presenting your property for viewings, we recommend the following:
- Outside space, including gardens and driveways should be tidy and clear of rubbish. Clean up weeds, sweep driveways and add some plants.
- The inside needs to be clean, tidy and free of clutter. Ensure rooms are not too crowded with personal effects. The furniture should be arranged in a welcoming manner so as not to create barriers.
- Remove items of bulky over-sized furniture if necessary to create a sense of space.
- The whole house should be clean, particularly the kitchen and bathroom areas. Windows should be clean, inside and out.
- Ensure the property smells clean. If there are pets, air fresheners or neutralisers are advisable. Opening windows to air the property will also help.
- Make sure all lights are in working order and blown bulbs are replaced.
- Keep curtains fully drawn to give the maximum possible natural light.
- Pets and young children are out during viewings. This will help the viewer focus on the property and minimise distractions.
