members of staff. 

Our aim is still to offer the best 

possible customer service

LANDLORDS - SHOULD YOU FURNISH YOUR 

RENTAL PROPERTY? 

Paul Long (Director of Drewery Property Consultants) gives his view 

on this important question: 

While it’s essential that your property is in a good state of repair, what’s inside counts for 

something too. As a landlord, you’ll need to make the decision whether to fully furnish, part 

furnish or not furnish at all. 

There are prospective tenants wishing to rent all types of property. Your rights as a Landlord 

to regain possession at the end of the term, under an Assured Shorthold Tenancy, are still the 

same. A furnished property will not always achieve a higher rental figure and I would 

recommend before furnishing your property that you speak us to confirm what the demand 

for furnished property in the local area is and if tenants will pay a premium for it. Fully 

furnished properties usually have a complete range of contents, such as full kitchen 

appliances, including some pots and pans, cutlery and crockery. There will be furniture in the 

Lounge, Dining room and Bedrooms but Tenants usually provide their own bedding and towels 

etc. It is usual for unfurnished properties to have floor coverings and curtains. When supplying 

furnishings and electrical appliances, Landlords must give consideration to the safety 

regulations currently applicable and the possible expenses incurred to maintain appliances 

in working order. 

Bear in mind... Families or long-term tenants will probably have a lot of their own furniture 

and generally the more items you provide the more problems can possibly occur relating to 

repairs, damage and deposit disputes. Laminate or wooden floors are more durable than 

carpets, and are a good idea for long-term leases. Students and office workers may be 

attracted by the offer of desks and chairs (if you’re planning to appear in University 

accommodation lists you may need to meet their minimum standards of furnishing). 

A great deal... You need good-quality and durable items in your property, but you don’t want 

to break the bank, either. Check out sites such as freecyle.org and gumtree.com to see if 

there’s anything you can pick up for free. Auctions and auction sites (like ebay) can also 

prove to be cost-effective sources of high-quality items. It’s never worth scrimping too much 

on cost as you might just end up replacing items more frequently. Don’t forget, you’re not 

living there, so while you want to buy attractive pieces, it’s more about getting durable 

furniture with washable covers than about being overly stylist. 

Follow the Fire Safety Regulations... All furniture needs to comply with fire safety regulations 

– this is especially important if you’re buying older or second-hand furniture. New furniture 

is less of an issue, as the onus is on the retailer to make sure it complies. However, it’s still a 

good idea to check all items for the appropriate label. Always keep your receipts and leave 

all the safety labels attached to the furniture.
