Maximise Your Rental Income: Smart Property Refurbishment for UK Landlords

Let Instore Direct look after your investment

 
As a landlord in the UK, you're constantly seeking ways to maximise your rental income. One of the most effective strategies is property refurbishment, and it doesn't have to break the bank. A well-executed refurbishment can attract higher-quality tenants, command premium rents, and reduce costly maintenance issues in the long run. This is particularly true for student properties, HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation), PBSA (Purpose-Built Student Accommodation), serviced accommodation, and Airbnb properties, where the standard and appeal of the property can significantly impact occupancy rates.

Your property investment should deliver quality, value, and unparalleled convenience

Knowing Your Audience

Before you even pick up a paintbrush, consider your target tenant. Student properties benefit from durable, easy-to-clean finishes and functional furniture. HMOs require similar considerations, with added emphasis on safety. PBSA often demands a more modern, stylish aesthetic, reflecting the expectations of today's students. For serviced accommodation and Airbnb properties, consider a design that appeals to a wider range of guests, focusing on comfort, style, and the amenities that travellers value.

Focusing on Impact

The key to a successful refurbishment is to identify the areas that will have the biggest impact on your rental income. Focus on upgrades that enhance the overall appeal and functionality of the property. This might involve replacing outdated fixtures, improving the flow of the space, or adding modern amenities. Pay close attention to details like lighting and decor, which can significantly impact the ambiance of the property. Consider smart home technology to attract tenants with tech needs.

Boosting Rental Income

By making strategic improvements, you can justify higher rental rates. A modern, well-maintained property is more attractive to potential tenants, who are willing to pay a premium for quality and comfort. For student properties and HMOs, consider adding amenities like study areas or communal living spaces to further enhance their appeal. In the competitive market of serviced accommodation and Airbnb, a well-refurbished property can command premium prices and achieve higher occupancy rates. Remember to document your improvements with high-quality photos and videos to showcase the property's potential to prospective renters.

You want quality, value and absolute convenience

Furnished rents faster

More and more investors are looking to maximise returns by offering residents a fully-furnished product. The convenience to potential tenants alone ensures furnished properties rent faster. 


Furnished usually meant basic at best. Second-hand or downright scruffy furniture and rock-bottom appliances were often sufficient - historically, peoples' expectations were far less. 


What we have found is the market has come to expect more...

A quick guide to contract furniture

What is contract furniture?

Put simply, contract furniture is commercial grade built to withstand heavier usage and is typically suited for public settings, including hotels, pubs, restaurants, shopping centres, airports, to name only a few. These products are generally far sturdier and produced to a much higher standard than domestic furniture, undergoing rigorous testing.

Long-Lasting Furniture Solutions

The need for durable furniture is increasing in residential settings. Furniture designed for high-traffic use is essential for environments like student housing, reducing replacement costs for landlords and developers.

From small student houses to large PBSA..

Over the years Instore Direct has worked across this sector, from independent student landlords right through to developers of large PBSA (Purpose Built Student Accommodation) blocks, supplying robust furniture, both personal and communal, that is built to last.


We have also worked with housing associations and care home providers whose demands for heavy-duty and sometimes anti-ligature furniture is even more important.
