Five things a good rental property should have!
Renting out a property in Marbella is a great investment opportunity. However, if you really want to make it worthwhile there are many aspects to consider to ensure that your rental apartment or villa is appealing enough to attract the highest possible rates per night or week,and enjoy high levels of occupancy. We have put together a list of some key elements that we believe every good rental property should have.
• Welcome pack ─ A welcome pack including necessities such as bread and milk combined with a few luxuries such as beer, wine and chocolate, plus essential information including emergency contact numbers will not only make your guests feel welcome but it will also show excellent customer service and help to encourage further bookings.
• Quality indoor and outdoor furniture – while you don’t want to spend a fortune on decorating your rental property with top designer furnishings, it is important that you meet the needs and requirements of today’s tenants to help them feel comfortable and at home at your property.
• Television & Internet – ensuring that your property has a television with local and International TV, movies and radio stations, and a strong internet connection will add more appeal to your rental property. Giving tenants the option to watch sport and entertain the kids will be an important factor for many.
• Heating & air conditioning ─ While you don’t want to be left with expensive bills, it’s important that your rental property is comfortable in the hot summer months and suitably heated in the winter months, if you want your tenants to be comfortable and experience a pleasant stay.
• Child-Friendly fixtures & fittings – in order to appeal to the family market you will need to make sure that your property is child-friendly. Here it is important to think about things such as pool coverings, electric sockets and children’s bedding.
An experienced, professional rental specialist takes care of all of this for you, advising you on the best way to prepare and present your property, then marketing it effectively and providing an efficient and friendly service for your guests that builds a reputation and makes people want to come back.
