It’s important to know the best way to appeal to potential tenants when letting a property. Here are six top tips for letting your property in Notting Hill.

1. A large number of tenants looking to rent in the Notting Hill area are from Continental Europe, so wooden floors are popular and worth considering if permitted in the terms of your lease.

2. When preparing to let your property ensure everything is in good working order and where possible, provide manuals and appliance instructions - a ‘move-in pack’ always creates a good impression and can help ensure a smooth start to a tenancy.

3. Keep properties clean for viewings – it maybe a basic point but potential tenants in Notting Hill have high expectations. De-clutter, tidy up and make sure there is a mat at the door, particularly at access points to gardens and terraces.

4. Create a warm welcome. A cold flat can be very uninviting, so consider setting the heating to come on for a short time before viewings.

5. If the windows of your property have contemporary blinds with a complicated high-tech system, arrange for an experienced programmer, or the contractor who installed the system, to show tenants how they work.

6. If you have access to a communal garden square check that it is dog-friendly as lots of tenants have pet. For viewings leave a key out so that potential tenants can take a proper look and appreciate the space.
