But before tenants can view the property they need to be enticed to view the property. This can be done by setting the right price and making sure the marketing of the property includes professional photos of the property looking its best. This will ensures people see the property and its features looking their best so that it goes to the top of their short list - and not be remembered for what ISN'T done, or needs doing at a property.

There are also other tips for your property before the inspection including setting the right price for your property. This will ensure you are giving the property the best chance to be viewed by potential tenants as they don't want to miss seeing a gorgeous property that is well marketed, well presented and ready to move into.

A final point to remember is to make sure the property is available to view at a moment's notice.

It will also enable the process to be more efficient and most importantly - allow the tenant the best chance to see themselves in the property, see the property at it's best and ultimately to increase the chances of property applications.
