How do you attract tenants? Think like a tenant...

It’s true, it’s the 21st Century and the internet has taken over our lives!

So it’s no surprise that the majority of tenants, around 95% will look for their next home online and although avidly read by many of us, not in this newspaper. They’ll go to one of the main property portals, enter the geographic area they’re interest-ed in and other specific criteria for example number of bedrooms and price range. They’ll then browse through the details of matching properties, select those that catch their eye and contact the agents con-cerned for more information and potentially a viewing.

If you have a 1 or 2 bedroom flat in Uxbridge then good news, these are the most in demand property type. But they’re also in the greatest supply with well over 70 available to rent at the time of writing this article. So what is your agent doing to make your property stand out from the crowd and ensure that you get your pick of tenants?

Think like a tenant and search online for properties like yours, would you call your agent to view your property?

If your property is shown with only one picture (or none), or if the description is uninspiring or badly written, then chances are you wouldn’t pick up the phone. Well, neither will your potential tenants!
