Tips for Landlords: How to Raise Your Rental


A lot of landlords in London wonder how to raise the rental price of their properties. This is not that easy, though, especially if you've signed a contract with your tenant, in which you've included the price.

Here are a few tips from a professional end of tenancy cleaning London expert on how to raise your rental:

  • If you haven't found an occupant for your place yet, the easiest way to take a bigger rental price is to install as many additional amenities as you can. You will have to invest some money of course, but you'll get the investment back after a few months. Make the place as comfortable as you would like it to be, if you were living there. Put all of the needed for normal living kitchen appliances, such as an oven, a stove, a refrigerator, a toaster, a microwave oven, a coffee machine, and kitchen ventilation, in your kitchen.
  • Furnish the living room with leather furniture. A flat screen TV will add extra luxury to the place, and a carpet will make the room warmer and cosier.
  • Install cable TV and Internet in the property. These are very important amenities, nowadays.
  • If you are letting a flat/house, you can try to ensure a parking spot for your renter. This amenity will bring you extra points, if your palce is in an area where the word “parking” is a taboo.
  • An air conditioner, a humidifier or a de-humidifier can also be very important for raising the rental price. London is a city with high levels of humidity, and such appliances help a lot in the fight against mould and mildew.


If you furnish your place with all of these things, make sure you sign a rental contract with your tenant, and take a security deposit which is equal at least to one rental payment. I personally recommend that you include a clause in the contract, which to obligate the occupant to have the place professionally cleaned by a move out cleaning London company at the end of his/her tenancy. This way you'll be sure that you will get your house/flat in the same condition in which you've let it.
