Bridges Estate Agents in Uppermill gives advice to those renting out a property.
OWNING A rental property has always been a popular way to invest money while renting a property remains a necessary and popular way to live, writes Raychel Hobbs.
However, there has been a recent increase in property purchases on the sales market, which includes a surge of first time buyers, many of which are backed by government schemes and others hoping to complete on houses before Christmas.
As a consequence, the rental market is seeing a dip in competition; so what can you do to make your rental property stand out from the rest?
Many perspective tenants may find it easier to visualise living in a property when it is well presented and has a neutral décor.
Simple light pastel colours on both the walls and carpets are popular. Ensure all maintenance work has been carried out and that the property is of a good standard.
Finally, with many properties on the rental market, it is important to be competitively priced as this will always be a major factor when people decide on which property to rent.
Look at the rental market in Saddleworth and see what other landlords are charging – a competitive edge will help you with a successful rental.
