How to reduce void periods

Every empty week costs you rent plus bills and council tax. These steps help keep your property let.

Start early

Ask about renewal plans two to three months before the tenancy ends so you have time to market the property.

Price it right

An overpriced listing sits empty. A month empty can wipe out a year of a small increase - check local rents first.

Keep it in good condition

Fix repairs quickly during the tenancy and refresh paint and cleaning between lets.

Look after good tenants

Fast repairs and clear communication make tenants more likely to stay.
