If you’re getting ready to let your property this year then mastering the art of the perfect viewing is a crucial step towards achieving the rental price that you are dreaming of.
First things first, let’s talk about the viewing appointment itself. It’s a make-or-break moment in the letting process, as few tenants will commit to renting a home without seeing it first. Yet, many landlords underestimate the power of a well-planned viewing. Some simply swing open the door and let potential tenants wander freely, while others bombard them with excessive information, overwhelming their senses.
Fear not, there are simple yet effective strategies you can use to improve the viewing experience for both you and your potential tenants. While it may not magically transform a disinterested person into a committed potential tenant, it can certainly leave a positive and lasting impression that nudges them closer to making a tenancy application. So let’s dive into the things you can do to make your tenants’ viewing experience shine and leave potential tenants wowed.
Plan
Plan a route around your property that will showcase it in the best light possible. Always save the most impressive features for last. Whether it’s a cosy reading nook or a breathtaking view, make sure it’s the last thing they see so that it leaves a lasting impression.
No Pressure
Avoid bombarding viewers with too much information or rushing them through the tour of your property. Give them space to explore and envisage themselves living in the space. Remember, a relaxed viewing experience encourages deeper engagement and contemplation.
Time
Don’t forget to give your potential tenants ample room to soak it all in. Guide them through your property, then allow them to explore on their own. This second walkthrough ensures your property leaves a lasting impression, cementing its place in their memory.
Reduce Talking
Resist the urge to talk too much. While it’s a natural human reaction to try to fill silence with chatter, keep it concise and relevant. After all, they’re there to see your property, not hear your life story. Focus on highlighting your property’s best features and avoid oversharing irrelevant details that could detract from its appeal.
Mastering the art of the perfect viewing means you’ll not only maximise your chances of letting your property but will also ensure a positive and memorable experience for all involved. So, get ready to showcase your property in its best light and reel in those tenancy applications!
