First consider exactly what type of tenant your property is likely to attract depending on the location, size and quality of your property before starting the advertising process. For example, if it is situated near a business park then you could attract a number of employees from the business park, or if it is near a college or university then it may be very desirable for students.

Other than using a lettings agency like Black Katz, or a property management company there are a number of ways in which you can advertise your property to find a tenant:

Newspaper Advertising is a popular alternative way of finding tenants. You should identify which daily newspapers are most popular with house-hunters in the designated area. Some areas have free papers such as Loot which is another good place to advertise. Write a short advertisment for your property highlighting the best qualities of the property considering what your target market is likely to be most attracted to. For instance, a property with a good size kitchen and a garden will appeal to a family, but not necessarily to a single young professional. Include details regarding number of bedrooms / garage / bathroom / shower room. Remember to include a contact telephone number! Notices in the local shops can also be very effective and most shops do not charge much to advertise. Include similar details to those listed above.

There are also websites where you can list your property to rent and potential tenants can search to find something suitable. Once you have received applications from prospective tenants, it is time for them to view the property. If you are accompanying them, then it is important that you highlight its best qualities.

Conversely, if your use Black Katz, the agent escorting the tenant will be well informed and can show off its qualities and any notable features that help the overall impression of the property.

When you have identified suitable tenants you need to obtain references before you sign any agreements.
