Is it best to let the investment properties furnished?
It depends. If your property is a City Centre Apartment aimed at the corporate or student sector then possibly. It all depends on the location, what the local market is demanding and what kinds of rent you can obtain. Most investors will have a mixed portfolio of furnished and unfurnished properties. Supplying a furniture package is also an added cost to you the Landlord so you need to carefully consider your budget. Remember, before any property is let it must have floor coverings, i.e. carpets or laminated floors etc and window dressings such as blinds or curtains.
