Frequently asked questions

What is a property refurbishment?

A property refurbishment consists of updating, repairing, or upgrading your property to improve its overall appeal and condition.

When is it a good time to consider carrying out refurbishment work on my property?

If you’re planning to refurbish your property, it’s best to do it when the property is empty. With students typically starting the academic year in September, it’s a good idea to have any updates made during the university summer holidays, that way the property will be ready for students come term time.

It is imperative that landlords keep their properties up to date in the current market, given the abundance of competitive options available to students. It’s worth noting that the expected standard of a property is higher than ever, with students willing to pay higher rent prices in exchange for preferable properties.

With this in mind, Seekers can help you every step of the way when it comes to property refurbishments. We will manage your projects from start to finish. Get in touch with our friendly team to get started.

Why is refurbishing a property so important?

Aside from attracting a larger pool of potential tenants, there are many reasons why you should refurbish your rental property.

If your property is of a high standard, you’ll have a much higher rate of return on investment (ROI), as many tenants are willing to pay a real premium for the best properties on the market. You’ll also reduce maintenance costs going forward, as any latent issues are often mitigated by the work carried out. Ultimately, a sought after property is less likely to experience void periods.
