Get Your Rental Home Summer Ready With summer fast approaching (even if the weather doesn't reflect it), many landlords are preparing their rental properties ready for the sunny season. The team at Tiili have put together some top tips on how to get your home "body ready" in time for summer tenants. Cleaning the Gutters Not the most glamorous of jobs but definitely a necessary one. If they haven't been cleared since winter, you need to make this a priority as the leaves will start compacting down and start blocking the gutter. If rainwater cannot flow down the pipe system, the water will start overflowing from the gutter and run down the walls. This can cause water damage to your external walls and can even cause severe cracks. Regularly clearing the gutters will minimise any risk of this. Get Green Fingered If your rental home has a garden, this could be one of the biggest draws for potential summer renters. A well-maintained garden will appeal to families and couples alike and strategically placing some garden furniture will help them visualize spending hazy summer days there. Although gardens filled with flowers look beautiful, you should remember that not everyone is an avid gardener and might not want the task of full-time gardener. Therefore, try and keep the garden as low maintenance as possible - decking, hardy shrubs and avoid fiddly flower beds.
