How to furnish a student Property

How To Furnish A Student Let Flat

Landlords have many big decisions to make and one of the most important decisions is whether to offer a furnished or unfurnished flat. There are pros and cons for both arguments and a lot may depend on the clientele the landlord is looking to attract or how much money the landlord must invest up-front.

When it comes to a student let flat, the decision between furnished and unfurnished is a simple one. It is accepted that you furnish student let flats as it is likely that they are coming from their family home, and that they won’t have too much money or too many items they can bring from home. If you are a landlord focusing on student lets, you should be looking to furnish the property. However, there are many ways that you can furnish property and knowing how to furnish a student let flat is important.

Meet the needs of student tenants in and around Coventry

At Student Circle, we are pleased to say we have helped many landlords cater to the needs and requirements of students in and around Coventry. It is not as though Coventry students are any more or less demanding than students in the rest of the United Kingdom, but we have experience in furnishing property for these student tenants.

Each demographic of tenant will have their own expectations of furnishing but when it comes to the student market, you should look to provide:

·       Beds

·       Tables

·       Wardrobe

·       Sofa

As stated, students are unlikely to bring a lot of furniture to their accommodation while studying, so you should be looking to provide a lot of furniture. On a practical level, offering a desk where a student can work, study and base their laptop will be appreciated.

Affordable and durable furniture is ideal for student lets

With respect to expenditure when it comes to furnishing student property, your own budget will dictate what you can do, but there is no need to spend a lot of money. You should look for durable furniture that can withstand some pressure and damage but equally, this isn’t furniture that is expected to last a long time.

If you find affordable and durable furniture, with a leading Swedish furniture company being an ideal example of where to find affordable and durable furniture, you will have everything that your tenants expect when letting student furniture.

You should also bear health and safety regulations in mind and this means you need to ensure all furniture is fire resistant. You should find that furniture which complies with these regulations will have a label stating its dependability on this matter.

Make sure you offer a safe student let

As a landlord, you have a duty of care to your tenants, especially tenants who are away from home for what could be the first time in their life. The style of furniture you place into property can enhance the safety of your property, benefitting you and student tenants.

 If you’re a landlord looking to let to students at Coventry University, Warwick University or any other educational institutions in the local area, Studentcircle is here to help. We are pleased to say we have helped many local landlords provide students with a dependable standard of service. When you provide tenants with suitable surroundings, they will enjoy staying with you, and this can help provide the best standard of service to all students.
