House Rental

[Shellywoozle]

For those that rent houses would you prefer it furninshed or unfurnished so you can make your own mark.

I mean bedroom furniture and sofas, washing machine etc and beds.

I am hopefully be renting mine out by the 3rd quarter of the year if my plans are good and wondered if I should start getting rid of my furniture etc.

I can't take them where I am hopefully going.

fully furnished. but you have to remember that you will have to replace them at some point and tenants dont look after someone elses stuff like they would their own.

unfurnished. no need to worry about anything apart from decorations and fittings.


simples.

see where you are coming from but the stuff I have I don't really care about. If they get trashed then I wont know as I dont plan on being near to inspect the house etc. I would employ a local mate to pop in twice a year for inspection and do any work.

I plan just to keep the house as an income as my mortgage is lowish.

but if they brake it they will want it replaced, as you rented it out as fully furnished.

also the kind of people you will be attracting 'fully furnished' are drifters.

aww get ya .... mmm you just made my mind up, I will be in no position to replace.

Furniture give away very soon then (I hope) lol ..... my king size bed is awesome someone will have a good pressy.

As a landlord and Estate agent ...... always unfurnished !!

The rent is the same ...
Tenants tend to stay longer unfurnished, and look after the place better ...

As a renter, I prefer unfurnished, I've spent years building up my furniture/white goods and don't want to have to sell it or put it in storage!

Remember that if you provide white goods you'll also have to pay out to have them checked by a registered electrician every year as well!

(btw, can I take first dibs on your king size bed? cheeky I know but I need a new one lol!)

if i had the time i would come down with a van and empty it for you. i need a lot of new things including a settee.

If I was landlord, then i would provide nothing its a ball ache to provide stuff in a house if it break then you replace it.

At the moment I rent with everything in the house this one even has a a TV but that suits me casue I move a lot I don't want to be moving large objects about.

I'm a landlord and a tenant, unfurnished for both.
