1. Student Accommodation Furniture
One of the biggest mistakes that most new student landlords make is choosing student
accommodation furniture that is not made to stand the rigors of student life. Admittedly
not all students party every night but accidents do happen, so any Student
Accommodation Furniture you choose needs to be good quality, durable and practical.
Essential Items:
You don’t need to go mad when furnishing a student flat or a student house as most
students will add the details themselves. You do however need to think about the
different rooms within the property and make sure they have the essentials.
Moving on, the living or communal area will need adequate seating for the number of
tenants in the property, a coffee table, a TV stand and maybe even a couple of bookcases
or a set of nest tables. The more appealing you make your student accommodation
furniture the easier you will find it to let your house for a slightly higher than average
amount.
Additional Items that help to Attract Students:
Although a lot of people believe students to be unsociable they do like to congregate and
a dining room table is the perfect place for swapping the stories of the day. Bar stools are
also attractive forms of Student Accommodation Furniture as they serve the same
purpose but are slightly easier on the pocket.
You might also want to consider supplying the white goods for the kitchen and the small
electrical items like the kettle, toaster, microwave etc. Curtains or blinds are always
appreciated and homely touches such as lamps, rugs, cushions, bed linen and mirrors help
to make your property that little bit more appealing than every other student property in
the area.
Is it worth the investment?
If you choose quality student accommodation furniture from the start then it can’t be
anything but a good investment. Spending a little bit more in the first instance can mean
your student property is in demand year after year, and at a higher rent than most. An
empty student house is a dead loss so make sure you have tenants throughout the year by
providing the best student accommodation furniture you can.
