The lettings market in Earl's Court is always busy and at times, fiercely competitive, so it’s important that your property stands out from the crowd. Here are five top tips for letting a property in Earl's Court.

1. First impressions are key. Ideally you want to capture the attention of potential tenants instantly – clean, tidy, well-presented properties with everything in good working order will always let quickly.

2. Earl's Court is popular with European tenants so when refurbishing consider wooden floors (if the lease allows), light colours and neutral decoration. Also, if your property lacks storage, add it where you can. Adequate storage can be a deal breaker for some prospective tenants and having it will always add to the list of positives.

3. Earl's Court is a popular and busy location with two main roads running through the heart of the area. If your property is close to or overlooks either of these roads, where possible, install secondary glazing.

4. Get to know your neighbours – there are a lot of flats in the area and knowing who your neighbours are will help to reassure potential tenants when considering whether to rent your property.

5. Earl's Court’s transport links are a strong selling point with the Tube station close by and excellent bus links providing easy access in and out of central London. Consider leaving Tube maps, bus timetables, and perhaps even airport information, in the property so that any questions can be instantly answered.
