🛠️ Preparing Your Property for Letting

Presentation and marketing make a huge difference in both rental income and tenant quality.

Key Steps:

• Fresh paint and professional cleaning go a long way

• Modern fixtures attract higher-paying tenants

• Furnished or unfurnished?

  • Professionals often prefer the inclusion of white goods, but generally expect to rent unfurnished

  • Families usually prefer unfurnished

At Bevan Residential, we include photography and listing copywriting to ensure your property gets the attention it deserves.

📋 What You Must Know About Compliance

Lettings legislation is evolving – especially with the Renters Rights Bill making headlines. We ensure full compliance for every landlord we work with.

What We Cover:

• Anti Money Laundering and Sanctions Checks

• Right to Rent checks

• Tenancy deposit protection

• EPC, gas and electric safety

• Fire and CO alarm compliance

• Serving the correct legal documents

📌 We stay on top of the regulations so you don’t have to.
