Putting house up for rental purpose is quite an intelligent way of making your investment work for you in short term. Generally rent agreement is valid for 11 months subjected to renewal as per the mutual consent of both the parties: the tenant and the landlord.
If you are looking for tenants and just have a week’s time to redo your house, well there are some useful DIY options to go through to enhance the look and feel of your property
A speedy paint coat
Giving your house a paint coat enhances the face – value of your property instantly. Instead of experimenting with the colours, it’s always advisable to opt for neutral colours
Getting proper curtains and blinds
Curtains and blinds always complement the decor of the room. Every prospective tenant will definitely appreciate them. The colours of the curtains should be in contrast with the colour of the paints you have opted for the walls
Fixing cracks and damps
No tenant will prefer to opt for a house with cracks and damps and it demotes the face value of the house too. So, instead of compromising on the long term gains, it’s better to bear the onetime expenses and get the premium edge over the period of time.
Cleaning and Dusting
Just take a quick look across your house and do a cleaning and dusting throughout. If you have a garden or a lawn, trim the grass and give the garden a fresh look by cleaning the unwanted shrubs and dead flowers or twigs. The balcony should also be done properly. It adds the sparkle instantly to dazzle your tenant
Kitchens and Bathrooms
Spotless bathrooms and clean kitchen is one of the important aspects of enhancing the face value of your house. Many people have the tendency to check out these two places even before checking the bedrooms…
Shift the cabinets
It’s not advisable to keep your room cluttered with cabinets. It’s better to de – clutter the room from unnecessary stuff and cabinets. All these used up the floor space and gives an illusion of the room not spacious
Don’t overdo with the accessories
Keeping it simple is better than overdoing with the room. Accessorize the room properly so that it reflects an opulence of your taste. Too much accessories can actually make the room look small and stuffy. A showpiece on a sleek centre table is acceptable, but a life – size painting on the wall, may flaunts your taste in fine arts, but makes the room appear small and packed
With these you have an edge over your competitors in pricing your property. If you want to get better visibility to reach your prospective tenants at the earliest, get your property enlisted on real estate portals like Housing.com. It’s as easy as placing a request for enlisting, and they will get back to you with a visit timing to get the photographs and the other required details of the neighbourhood and your property is live on the website.

The powerful filters and the innovative features of the portal ensure that you meet the right tenant with least turnaround time.
