Landlord Essentials: How Can I Find Tenants?

Posted on February 10, 2015

Whether you have one buy-to-let property or a portfolio to manage, ensuring your property stays occupied and income coming in regularly is vital for all landlords, regardless of whether you are looking to cater to the student, family, retirement or young professional market. Whilst some landlords ‘drop on’ and are fighting off tenants left, right and centre, there are many more that need more than just a great property in a great location to get by.

Here we answer the question that has been on every landlord’s lips – “How Can I Find Tenants?” – so your vacant property needn’t stay untenanted for long.

Enlist a lettings agent

As well as offering a range of property management services, our estate agents deliver the ultimate package for landlords that simply don’t want to miss out on good tenants.

Advertise both online and off

When it comes to advertising, the more coverage we can give you the better, after all tenants use both traditional and modern methods to find the property rental of their dreams. Our website showcases our entire lettings portfolio, whilst our shop windows are also adorned with colourful and eye-catching displays.

Remember presentation makes perfect

Presenting your property appropriately for your target tenants is vital, and many landlords have work to get their property up to scratch to attract increasingly savvier tenants. You don’t have to do this alone though, our estate agents assist from the outset to ensure you are fully equipped for today’s buoyant rental market.

During the marketing process, we can also produce a full property brochure and colour photography to ensure your property catches the attention of tenants, for all the right reasons.

Provide great value for money
