Belgravia attracts tenants with the highest of expectations, so it’s vital to know how to appeal to them when letting your property. Here are six top tips for letting a property in Belgravia.

1. Research the market, compare your property with others, and take advice from your agent on the price you can realistically achieve. Your property should be attractive and well-priced compared with its competitors so that it stands out in the minds of prospective tenants when they are viewing and looking more closely at the details. If you’re hoping to achieve a record price over the market rate, the condition needs to be exceptional.

2. Timing is key. If you are planning to let a family home, then look to market it in line with the school calendar year to capture the family market.

3. It is essential that your property looks its best. Create space where possible, dress your property with new furniture and if you need help or advice, Savills Interior Services department is available to oversee refurbishments and style properties for viewings.

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

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. Did you know that in the summer month’s residents can enjoy street parties hosted by local businesses and Estates? Elizabeth Street (South Belgravia) and Motcomb Street (North Belgravia) both have summer parties, and they’re a great opportunity to meet and get to know the neighbours.
