Accord Lets Launch A Guide To Avoiding Dry Rental Spells This Winter

Online, January 6, 2010 (Newswire.com) - For example, many landlords often experience rental dry spells during the Winter months and with this in mind, Accord Lets, one of the leading letting agents in Birmingham city centre, has these tips to help you attract tenants this Winter.

Mr Mimmack, from Accord Lets, which offers Birmingham apartments to let, property to rent in Leamington and Warwick property to let, said, "The thought of moving in the Winter months is not appealing for potential tenants - the days are shorter, darker and colder, making trips to and from one place to another difficult and tedious. However, there are some tips and tricks that can help."

* Renovations - Clean, stylish and renovated flats or houses are more attractive than ones that show their age. It is safe to say that carpet and curtains from the 1970s are not appealing. In the current economic climate, it might be tough to fully renovate all of your properties but even a simple fresh coat of paint can make a difference.

* Discounts - We all love discounts and good deals. Offering a discount on the first month's rent is another way in which you could attract potential tenants. This does not need to be a massive amount of money and when looking at the annual rental income, it is not a big loss.

* Fridge, oven, washing machine and dryer - Many tenants find flats or houses more appealing when these items are included as it means they do not need to pay for these items themselves. Also, moving heavy and large appliances is considered highly inconvenient and expensive, especially during the winter months. The added benefit of the washing machine and dryer means your tenants realise they do not need to spend hours in their local laundrette.

* Use a reputable firm to find the right tenants - Some firms may simply try to allocate tenants to properties, without vetting them. Here at Accord Lets, we take into account your preferences in finding tenants for your property.

Mr. Mimmack added, "These tips are just some ways landlords can try to boost their properties and make them more appealing. Our friendly and dedicated team can also provide advice so any landlords requiring our help can contact us via our website or by calling us."
