So now that you have your property repaired, electricity and plumbing fully maintained – you might be looking to get the property advertised and on the market. But what are the best ways that you can add value to your home? After all, the final details often matter, and here are some of the best ways that you can begin to add value to your home and make it more appealing to renters.

Modern furniture

When it comes to appealing to renters, having modern furniture can help to attract attention and catch the eye of potential tenants. Opting to market your property furnished instead of unfurnished means that your property is able to appeal to a wider audience, increasing the number of potential applications that you may receive. To ensure that you appeal to everyone, make your choice clean, sharp and minimal, so that tenants can add their own decorations and they have a plank canvas to decorate as they please. Make sure that you choose furniture that will make the most of your space, from fitted wardrobes and storage units.

Kitchen & Bathroom

Kitchens and bathrooms can get dirty and messy easily, so it is important to take this into consideration when colour schemes. When it comes to the kitchen, if you are on a budget and don’t want to replace the whole kitchen, you can add new back tiles, taps and even give the cabinets a fresh layer of paint. Bathrooms need to be free of mould, dirt, and general grime – give these a deep clean and make sure to replace anything that is used regularly, such as door handles and shower curtains. Ensuring there is sufficient ventilation is one of the best ways to prevent mould from occurring in the first place.

Garden and outdoor space

When it comes to creating a great outdoor space for tenants – this can often be overlooked as many landlords get too focused on the inside of the property. Make sure before putting your home on the market, that you have cut all the grass, and removed all weeds and rubbish from the garden, leaving a clean and tidy space for tenants to make their own.

Added extras

It is always a bonus when landlords equip the property with extras, these can help boost the revenue potential of the property, and could be the deciding factor between tenants choosing between properties – this is what makes your house stand out from the rest! Ways in which you could do this are by adding a security system, double glazing, dishwasher, energy efficient heating and anything that can help make living easier, cheaper and more convenient for the tenant.
