Though you might not want to think about interior design, a few changes and alterations can go a long way to improving and enhancing the property, making it more appealing in the eyes of potential tenants and vendors, should you ever decide to sell.
Every landlord’s aim will also be to make the best impact through interior design for the minimum possible outlay. So, with this in mind, we thought it’d be handy to offer you some tips on how to save money on interior design. With these tips, you can enhance interior design for rental property without having to dig too deeply into your wallet.
The first thing to note is that you don’t always need to make drastic – or drastically expensive – changes to your buy-to-let property to make the interiors more appealing in the eyes of potential tenants. Most landlords, especially first-time landlords, will naturally look to spend as little as possible on interior design and furnishings, but this policy usually backfires and is a false economy. The aim should be to save where you can but invest in the things which matter.
Think of what you can realistically change per month in rent. You’ll then want to calculate how much to spend on interior design – try not to spend more than you can recoup in rent.
Our final tip? Call in a professional tradesperson when necessary. You might consider yourself a Jack-of-all-trades, and we commend you, but a professional job should remove the need to spend money later on to put things right.
