Survey reveals ideal tenant
The ideal tenant would be a female medical professional aged
between 36 and 45, living in London and with a salary between
£20,000 and £30,000, a new poll has found.
Such a demographic emerged from a study by Halifax of over 1,000
landlords, something that may interest property investors.
The findings of the survey showed that 77 per cent would prefer to
have a female tenant, while 67 per cent would rather to let their
properties to over-25s.
A third said they would be happy to let to someone on a
£20-30,000 income, 34 per cent favoured the idea of having a
doctor or nurse letting and a quarter stated they would most like
someone from London.
Those seeking to make their properties more attractive to tenants
should think creatively and offer incentives to make their homes
stand out, buy-to-let mortgages firm Clarity Commercial suggested
recently.
