Preparing your property for the letting market is quite straight forward but it is the small details that will really make the difference when it comes to speed of letting and quality of tenant. Well-dressed properties that have a clean fresh coat of paint and are set up to take a professional set of photos will always stand out in our advertising. For your property to look its best and to attract the highest quality of tenants it is advised to target the décor and furnishing towards the audience you are attempting to attract.
