    Tenant type

    When looking for a buy-to-let property, it's also important to think about what type of tenant you are looking to attract when purchasing your buy to let property.

    Young professionals: often heralded as the least wearing tenants mainly because they spend all their time on their commutes, professionals will need to be close to transport links and/or the city centre.

    Students: Students sometimes get a bad rep for being loud and/or messy, but there are definitely some perks to becoming a student landlord. They're predictable ¿ tenancies will be required to run the length of the academic year. They're reliable ¿ because rent payments will typically be subsidised by student loans, and they can generate higher rental yields due to more rooms being converted into rentable bedrooms. Notoriously easy to please - basic furniture, easy access to university or city centre and not a lot else!

    Families: Its likely families will want a house a little further outside the city centre, near to good schools and possibly with a garden. Buying a house within the catchment of a good school will set you back more during the initial purchase, but could guarantee you a longer term tenant as families will want to stay close to the school and may not be able to buy their own property nearby.

  • paragraph

    Making your rental yours 
    One of the main disadvantages of renting is not being able to make your mark on a property, but what if we told you that you could? Now, we aren't talking about big structural changes, but there are a multitude of ways to make your rental property feel like home without breaking the bank ¿ or the tenancy agreement!

  • paragraph

    Furniture: Renting an unfurnished property gives you some wiggle room on how you can get creative with your furniture. Even if your rental is furnished already - it's the small details that truly make a house a home. Investing in some cushions, rugs, throws - basically anything that's soft! - will help a rental instantly feel cosy, and it's a bonus that they are easy to move with you when your tenancy comes to an end. A few lamps, some light curtains and a couple of house plants will also help your home feel more welcoming.

    Décor: Prison-esque bare walls or blue-tac stained walls that will eat into your deposit? Not much of a choice, so how can you spruce up your walls without leaving oily stains on the walls? Command strips are a great way of giving the room a personal touch with no lasting damage. If your landlord doesn't mind, whack out a paintbrush and get going! As usual, best to stick to neutral but if you really do need that bright green feature wall, just paint over it with a neutral tone when you move out.
