Boost your Rental Income

Your rental property is a valuable asset, it is our job to ensure you are receiving the maximum return on your investment. At Raine & Horne Berry we are constantly keeping an eye on the changing market and advising you when it is a good time to increase the rent. Aside from a rent increase, there are some other ways you can boost your rental income.

The good news is you do not have to spend a lot of money for your property to look great! Something as simple as a fresh coat of paint throughout can make a massive difference and can help brighten the space. First impressions count when trying to secure a new tenant, the exterior of the property is what they will see first therefore, it is a good idea to make sure your property looks its best inside and out!

Keeping the garden presentable yet still low maintenance is always desirable for tenants as we all live busy lives and this is one less thing they have to worry about.

If you are looking to invest a little more time and funds into rejuvenating your property, the kitchen and bathroom are the best places to start. It is amazing how a new kitchen can change the feel of a home and boost your rental income. For a lot of people, the kitchen is where they will spend a considerable amount of time when they are at home. Being surrounded by new appliances and a nicer space to cook is extremely desirable to prospective tenants.

It is important to ensure there is plenty of storage space throughout the property, this can include built-in wardrobes or a linen cupboard for additional space and convenience. Something as simple as some additional security on windows and doors can give tenants some extra peace of mind, particularly for families or those living alone.
