How to find tenants FAST on your Cheshire rental property

Whether you’re a first-time property investor, or a landlord with multiple properties, the number one challenge is to always have good tenants occupying the property.  An empty property can be a real drain on your investment, but so can the wrong tenants. With this mind, we’re going to share our top tips on how to find the right tenants fast for your Cheshire rental property.

Get online

Over 90% of people start the rental property search online. A good letting agent will have your property listed on Right Move and On the Market within just a few hours. Rightmove is the largest online property portal, receiving 127.5 million visits per month according to Homeowners Alliance.

Wright Marshall invest in premium listings on Rightmove that feature your property at the top of the rental listings to help it stand out from the crowd and generate more interest.

A picture paints a thousand words

High-quality professional photographs that show off your property’s best features can make the difference between a viewing and someone clicking on to the next property.  Our professional photographers use a wide angled lens to show each room off to its full potential. They’ll also utilise natural light within your property to create that beautiful airy, clean and spacious feel that tenants are looking for.

Understand the layout

The layout of the property could be a game changer for finding the right tenant. If you want your property to appeal to families, they’ll be looking for open plan space downstairs.  If they have older children, they’ll want decent size bedrooms. We produce accurate floorplans to help attract the right tenants and ensure your property is correctly represented online.

Competitive rental price

Every landlord wants to achieve the highest rental price for their property, but it’s important to be realistic too – and with tenants being better equipped with information online in their hunt for the right rental property, they’re choosing more wisely and cautiously.  We have a good sense of the market and demand for rental properties in Cheshire, so we know how to set a fair and reasonable monthly rent.

Understand your market

A clear understanding of which segment of the tenant market is best suited to your property will allow you to better position and present your rental property as well as helping you find suitable tenants quickly.  If your property appeals to families, for example, you will need to highlight local schools in the area, parks and open plan features within the home.  If it’s young professionals, then they’ll be keen on knowing what local transport links are in the area, what local amenities are within easy reach and also whether the landlord is willing to be flexible on furnishing the property. With a vast database of prospective tenants, we proactively call round to those we feel will be most suited to your property which has given us a strong track record of successfully let properties in the Cheshire area.
