Whether you are about to go on the market or still weighing up your options, getting your home ready properly is one of the most valuable things you can do. The good news is that the things that genuinely move the needle rarely cost very much. It is mostly time, thought, and a willingness to see your home through a buyer's eyes.

There is a difference between finding a tenant and finding the right tenant. It sounds obvious but it shapes everything about how a letting should be approached, from how a property is presented and where it is advertised, to what kind of applicants it attracts and how they are assessed.

It is a fair question and one worth answering honestly. Using a letting agent costs money, and if you are weighing up whether the fee is justified, you deserve a straight answer rather than the obvious one from someone who has a financial interest in the outcome.
