How To Get Your Property Ready To Rent


Embarking on the journey of renting out your investment property for the first time may initially seem daunting, but it doesn't need to be overwhelming. Follow these seven tips to streamline the process, and don't hesitate to reach out to Polished Property Co. for assistance.



Explore Comparable Homes

Evaluate comparable properties in the market to gauge realistic rental expectations. This analysis will uncover potential improvements needed to position your property competitively.

Enhance Curb Appeal

Ensure your property's exterior is well-maintained for a positive first impression. A clean, tidy façade with fresh paint, a manicured front lawn, and a thriving garden sets the stage for favorable viewings.

Prioritise Cleanliness

Invest in a professional deep clean before capturing photos or scheduling inspections. A pristine living space is more inviting to tenants, showcasing your conscientious approach as a property owner.

Address Repairs

Conduct a thorough assessment of your property's condition and address any necessary repairs before showcasing it for rent. Plumbing, appliances, doors, and windows should be in optimal working order. 

Upgrade Interiors

Enhance the cosmetic features of your property to complement its functionality. Modernizing with contemporary appliances and finishes, as well as adopting a fresh, neutral color palette, increases tenant appeal.

Prioritise Garden Maintenance

If your garden has been neglected, consider hiring a gardener to restore its appeal. A low-maintenance garden can significantly enhance the property's desirability and alleviate tenant concerns.

Utilise a Property Manager

Recognize that managing a rental property is a substantial commitment. Property managers, experts in the field, can save you time, money, and stress. Their assistance covers everything from photography and interior styling to property inspections and rental agreements, ensuring your investment reaches its full potential.
