Some people are looking to move rental property soon
We appreciate many people have no intention of moving home now or at any point shortly. However, many people are keen to move now or soon. There are always reasons why people want to move to a new rental property, and a lot of people will use the lockdown time to consider their next move in the market.
One of the most critical elements for landlords to consider when placing a rental property on the market is the property valuation. With a realistic appraisal, the landlord can enter the market in confidence, justifying the rental fee they are looking for.
A range of factors influence property valuations, and the value is about much more than the property itself. Yes, the size, shape, the number of rooms and condition of the property matter when placing a value on a property, but so do many external factors.
External factors influence rental fees and property values
Issues like school places, transport options, crime rates, shops, restaurants, bars, community groups and virtually every aspect of modern life influence demand for rental property, and what people are willing to pay in rent each month.
Therefore, landlords should call on a local agent to value their home. A local agent who has experience in assessing homes, and who knows the local area well, will provide a more realistic value and rental fee appraisal.
Making an informed decision makes it easier for landlords to connect with tenants, and this is still the case during the lockdown. Tenants are looking to move home and realistic valuation matters.
Virtual valuation services may not be a perfect way to evaluate a property, but it is a workable solution for the situation we are all dealing with. Virtual valuations allow the rental process to continue as close to expected, and it helps provide landlords and tenants with greater confidence.
Everyone is looking for information these days, and if you are keen to stay up to date with the Slough rental market, we are here for you. At Brownstones Property Services, we are pleased to say we have brought many local landlords and tenants together, and we look forward to assisting you.
