Still unsure about when to refurbish your London rental property?
Check out our expert advice below to help you decide the best time for an upgrade.

Q1: When should landlords consider updating their rental property?

A: Well-presented properties not only rent faster but also command higher rates. It's essential to align the property's presentation with the expectations of your target tenants. For example, professional or corporate tenants often expect a high-spec finish with stylish, contemporary furnishings. Higher budgets come with higher expectations, so it's good to ensure your property is both appealing and up-to-date.

Q2: What areas should landlords focus on if they have a budget for improvements?

A: Focus on upgrading kitchens and bathrooms first. A modern, stylish kitchen is crucial, and bathrooms are just as important. For two-bedroom properties, having two bathrooms is ideal. In older properties, creating an ensuite by reconfiguring space from a larger bedroom can add significant value. Retaining original features in period properties is also advantageous. For limited budgets, simple updates like fresh paint, new flooring, and updated curtains are effective. Tenants often prefer contemporary wood flooring, but always check if your lease permits it. Investing in these areas not only enhances rental appeal but also boosts overall capital value. Consider hiring a specialist to reconfigure layouts, especially in older properties with small rooms. Removing internal walls can create a more spacious, open-plan layout with a 'wow' factor.

Example: A client's apartment near the Science Museum in South Kensington had an outdated and inefficient layout. After consulting with a refurbishment specialist, internal walls were removed to create a grand, double-height reception area with floor-to-ceiling windows. This impressive transformation led to a quick rental at £1,500 per week, £500 more than previously achieved, and the apartment was let within just 10 days.
