Maximize Rental Returns: Boost Property ROI with Full Dressing

Landlords and investors often ask us whether they will get a good return on investment from dressing their property with a full furnishing package, and the answer is, by and large, YES!

Maximize Rental Returns with beautiful renovation

Fully furnishing and dressing your property will provide short and long-term benefits for you and your prospective tenant. In this blog, we will show undressed Vs dressed examples of a property at Berkeley’s new Green Quarter development.

What Does a ‘Dressed Property’ Actually Mean?

What Does a ‘Dressed Property’ Actually Mean?

To answer this question you need to ask yourself, “can a tenant move in with just their suitcase?” If the answer is no, the property will be considered undressed. A ‘dressed property’ is often confused with a ‘furnished property‘.

Many investors and landlords presume that because a property has a bed and a dining table and chairs, it is considered dressed. This is not the case. In today’s competitive market, tenants’ expectations are higher than ever and first impressions have never counted more.

What does a Fully Furnished, Dressed Property Include?

What does a Fully Furnished, Dressed Property Include

Fully furnished, dressed properties enable the tenant to move in without having to purchase anything. This means that linen, crockery and electrics are all covered. Take a look at our entry-level, gold pack’s full inteinery for a full list of what your flat should include to be deemed ‘ready to move in’. Landlords should bear in mind that tenants’ budgets are likely to be bigger if they know that they don’t have the cost of purchasing anything themselves. Our high-quality furniture packs also come with a guarantee, meaning furnishings and accessories can be reused for a long line of tenants.

Will Dressing a Property Increase the Return?

Will Dressing a Property Increase the Return

A landlord’s main concern from the rental property is return on investment. For this reason, landlords are sometimes reluctant to spend money on fully furnishing and dressing a property without the guarantee of higher rent than left unfurnished and undressed. However, investors must remember that unfilled properties generate zero return, quickly diminishing ROI. Properties fully furnished and dressed by InStyle Direct rent, on average, three times quicker than identical, unfurnished properties in the same building.

Associate Director

Author: Mark Parry

After spending several years garnering experience in the retail and real estate business, I joined InStyle Direct in 2013 and have thoroughly enjoyed my work here. As an Associate Director, I assist a diverse group of clients. Whether it is a private homeowner looking for a completely bespoke furnishing solution or a leading developer or estate agent looking to dress properties to meet business objectives, I have worked with all of them. Customer care is an essential part of my role. The ability to gauge client requirements and suggest a tailored solution is a skill I've honed after working on over 500 projects across more than a decade at this company. Another aspect of my work that keeps me motivated is the opportunity to collaborate with talented designers and cutting-edge suppliers worldwide. I guess bringing ideas to life is as stimulating for a property furnishing professional as it is rewarding for our clients. The sheer excitement in a client's voice and expression upon seeing a completely transformed property is priceless and something I strive for on every project I undertake. However, I do have interests outside of design and furnishing as well. When not drafting a client proposal or meeting with designers, I try honing my horse-riding skills or taking a spin class to keep fit. Football and travelling with my family are other passions that keep me going. In my experience as a property furnishing expert with InStyle Direct, I've had the privilege of contributing to several client successes that I'd like to share with you. From exciting results delivered to clients to the furnishing, interior design and refurbishment stories behind them, stay tuned for more.
