To furnish or not to furnish? That’s the question every landlord faces when considering how to market their newly- purchased property. The reality is, furnished apartments are in high demand – a staggering 80% of enquiries received by agents are for furnished properties. The combination of convenience and high-spec furnishings means that these apartments repeatedly secure high calibre tenants, who are able to envision their perfect home as soon as they step inside the door.
With this figure in mind, it is no doubt that a fully furnished unit can add value to a property both aesthetically and monetarily. By incorporating furniture and styling elements, a property is transformed from a blank canvas into a contemporary, warm and inviting home ready for rent or sale. With extensive knowledge of the property market and current trends, our professional designers have the experience and know-how to bring out a property’s full potential through well-planned designs and a careful selection of all furniture and styling items.
Dress to Impress: Quick Turnaround and Increased Rental Potential
In fact, properties that have been given our stylish furnishing treatment have experienced exceptionally quick turnaround, with 85% of our furnished projects let at first applicant viewing and some on the market for only 24 hours before being let to a professional tenants at the full rental price. Our range of bespoke, design-led furniture packages gives us the ability to have full quality and aesthetic control over our inventory, ensuring a design scheme that makes a house a home. Our sophisticated furnishings at a Knightsbridge apartment allowed the landlord to increase his rent substantially, perfectly illustrating how enhancing an interior can dramatically add value to a property, increase its rental potential and reduce void periods.
Transforming a Modern Apartment in London Dock
One of our most recent furnishing projects involved a complete transformation, creating a stylish living space in a modern apartment at London Dock, a luxurious new development by St George, situated in the heart of Wapping.
For the Manhattan style apartment, we designed a bright, open and airy living area using a neutral colour palette from our versatile Diamond package. With its contemporary furniture, decorative accessories and artwork all hand-picked by our designers, the package’s exclusive, high-end quality is ideal for attracting professional tenants and buyers.
Installed within a day’s time, cutting-edge furniture, gorgeous accent pieces and floor-to-ceiling window treatments bring an elegant touch to this one bedroom apartment in Wapping, London. A combination of a high-end furnishing scheme and popular location meant this property was let out to a corporate tenant the day after it was furnished at an above market rental because more than one prospective tenant who saw it, wanted it. Once again, well-executed design and sophisticated finishing touches turned an empty property into a desirable home on the market, proving that furniture package solutions are highly effective in adding value to a newly completed property.
