Valuation
Your aim should be to let your property at the best possible price in the shortest possible time. Our team have over 15 years experience within the industry along with extensive local knowledge to offer accurate appraisals.
Choosing The Right Agent
When selecting an Estate Agent you should consider when there opening hours are, when they can conduct viewings and what marketing strategy they have. These are critical when you are trying to obtain the most exposure and achieve the highest price possible for your property.
Property Management
Property management can be the key to reaping maximum rental returns on your property. Many tenants insist on renting managed properties and are often prepared to pay a premium for this. Instructing Davis Homes today gives you peace of mind that both your property and tenant will be cared for 24/7.
Presenting Your Property
First impressions count, making the presentation of your property critical to a successful let. Consider addressing any DIY jobs you have been meaning to get done, add a fresh coat of paint where necessary and try to declutter to make rooms appear larger.
Preparing Your Property For Tenancy
Before you let your property for the first time you must obtain a professional and comprehensive inventory. This will set out the condition and contents of the property. Davis Homes can carry out a professional inventory on your behalf.
