The message coming from letting agents in Winchester is that the majority of tenants are looking for well presented properties that provide comfortable accommodation and a home from home.
Therefore it is well worth spending a bit of time and money ensuring that rental properties are well maintained and presented. This also usually means that the tenant will take good care of the property and have the same respect for it as if it were their own.
Belinda Wright from Winkworth in Winchester highlights a recent successfully let property that confirms this thought.
“This period home in Hyde had a tenant lined up before it had really hit the market,” she says.
“We always have a huge demand for period central properties which are really well presented as our tenants are looking for home from homes not just a ‘scruffy rental’ which has not been cared for over the years.
“We let to numerous tenants moving out of London but who still require the proximity of the station to still be able to commute in to the capital. Young professional families and couples are always looking for this type of property.”
Belinda will be happy to chat about the local market and give advice to landlords about how best to present their properties. She can be contacted at Winkworth on 01962 866777.
