The Docklands area attracts a mix of tenants: young single professionals and couples, or high-end corporates – and all have exacting requirements. Here are five top tips for making sure your let property stands out from the rest in Wapping.

1. Make sure the decor and furnishings is in keeping with the style of the property. Family heirlooms and antiques can appear out of place in a contemporary Docklands apartments.

2. Stick to light, neutral colour schemes as a background canvas, so that tenants can inject their personality on the property with their furniture and personal effects.

3.Be as flexible as possible with regards to providing your property furnished or unfurnished. While renting is traditionally a transient period, 70 per cent of our tenants rent because of work and relocation. However, it is increasingly becoming a lifestyle choice for the remaining 30 per cent, who very often have invested in their furniture for the longer term.

4.Ensure that the terms of the tenancy suit your requirements. With 30 per cent of Docklands tenants insisting on one or more options to extend their tenancy after the initial fixed term, your ability to dispose and reinvest outside the terms of the tenancy is reduced.

5. The river views in the Wapping area are a big attraction for prospective tenants, and if you have a balcony or terrace, this could be your number one selling point. So, tidy up and show it at its best.
