So, I have a new rental property I am about to exchange on. The mortgage company are insisting on professional tenants only, which is fine, but I don't have professional tenants in my other property.
I need to make sure that it is done to a high standard (but in this area not necessarily high spec). It's being completely redecorated throughout with new carpets and there is already a new bathroom in (bath needs turning around for the over bath shower). There will be a new kitchen going in with plumbing and space for integrated dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. There is parking on the drive for two cars and the back garden is slabbed.
So what are your expectations from a private rental property? I would like to avoid a gas hob and the fire is just an electric plug in one, so looking to remove that. Would you expect curtain rails, curtains, blinds etc? Anything that might make you choose one property over another? Anything in a property you have rented that you like? Anything that you might specifically look for?
Thanks for any thoughts on the matter.
