Changes ‘can make homes more attractive’
Kitchens and bathrooms that are modern in appearance can help homes to become more attractive, it has been claimed this week.
The National Landlords Association stated that people buying properties for investment purposes need to ensure that these areas are up to scratch.
Head of communications at the company Simon Gordon claimed that these landlords, who may have purchased a mortgage, should see that the homes stand out from the competition.
Action they can take includes the installation of broadband of digital television or by decorating the property so that it is aesthetically pleasing.
But typically, they should find that changes to the aforementioned areas well serve them well in the future, Mr Gordon noted.
"Modern bathrooms and kitchens are often attractive and many tenants prefer to rent somewhere with wooden flooring," he suggested.
In 2006, 22 per cent of investors remarked that they did not think they had to make any changes to their homes, the Private Landlords Survey said.
