Getting the right tenant for your property

As a landlord, you want the right tenants in your property, and you don’t want any void periods without receiving rent. The lettings market offers many potentially lucrative opportunities, however, one crucial consideration is ever-changing legislation. Having the support of a knowledgeable and experienced property professional could be the key to success in your search, but here are some other top tips.

Make sure your property is well-presented

If your property is clean, in good order, and presentable, then it will attract good tenants. Decorating it with neutral colours, installing good appliances, or doing anything that improves the energy efficiency of the property could lead to higher rents.

Check your property is compliant

Electrical inspections, gas safety certificates, and energy performance certificates (EPC) all help prove that your property is compliant. This is a crucial step in helping to prevent you from being liable for any accidents or potential prosecution. Utilising the support of the Abbey Forth Lettings Team in the management of your property will ensure you have the guidance of a fully-compliant professional.

Explore the full potential of your property

Whether it’s enhancing the bathroom or kitchen or creating outdoor spaces, it’s important to fully explore the potential of your property. Good outdoor spaces are in high demand, especially those that can be used all year round. We can help advise you on how to make the most of your property.

Market your property well 

The key to success in marketing is having excellent photographs, videos or virtual tours, along with an accompanying strategy that connects your property with excellent tenants. We have a comprehensively vetted database of potential tenants and can match the right tenant to your property.

Carry out background checks 

Here at Abbey Forth, we conduct background checks as part of all application processes. We want to place reliable tenants in your property but do so in a way that is fully amenable. Credit checks are undertaken as they are a useful way of gaining access to a tenant’s previous history.  We want to get an insight into how reliable a tenant is to ensure their suitability. 

Set the right price 

Letting a property involves managing costs, much like any other business. We will always look to achieve satisfactory levels of rent for you.

Know your market 

Knowing the market helps us target the right tenants. Once we know who you are targeting, we can discuss with you how to prepare your property appropriately.  We pride ourselves of having a thorough understanding of the local property market and the demographic of potential suitable tenants.
