Instant Interiors: A Quick Way to Kit Out Your Buy-to-Let or Holiday Home
There’s a growing interiors trend amongst buy-to-letters, developers and property investors - they’re increasingly using specialist companies to obtain furnishing packages and get everything equipped in an instant.
As more people purchase buy-to-let properties or rental holiday homes, and developers need quick ways of staging properties in order to sell them, the trend of using specialist companies is on the rise. Rather than having to source the best prices for furniture, equipment, soft furnishings and white goods, you can approach a company who’ll sort it all out for you in super quick time.
Outsourcing all your furniture needs cuts down on the amount of time you have to spend on the nitty gritty details and frees up time for other crucial jobs. What’s more, you’re spared the hassle of having to install everything too, as most companies will handle that for you too.
In the world of property investing, when you’re keen to rent out your property as quickly as possible, such services have become a godsend. What’s more, they’re extremely handy too for owners of overseas properties, as it cuts down on the hassle of having to furnish a property when you may be unfamiliar with local traders.
Clare Whitehead, who established Kit-It-Out, one company offering such a service, says, “There are a number of reasons why we are seeing this new market develop. There are new homeowners who want to start afresh with a stylish new look and there are those who are looking to sell or rent out properties and require internal spaces to really stand out from the competition.”
Another company who run a similar service, but specifically limit it to the property industry in the UK, are John Strand. As well as providing design layouts and ideas for your buy-to-let or holiday home, they also manufacture furniture and do the hard work of furnishing your property at the end of the process.
If you’re looking to purely stage your property - kitting it out and demonstrating how it could look - but don’t want to keep the furniture permanently, then you can also consider hiring all you need. Fully Furnished provide a dual service, either selling you furniture or letting you rent it out temporarily. They have professional installers to get it all into place and are fast and efficient. Everything from furniture to electrical equipment can be installed within days.
There are similar services catering for people buying across the world. For example, if you’re buying in the United Arab Emirates, companies such as Dubai Home Furnishing can help you equip your property, or VillaPac caters for furnishing needs in Spain, Portugal, Morocco and Dubai.
Wherever you’re purchasing a buy-to-let or holiday home, if you’re keen to obtain a contemporary or designer look, but don’t want to the hassle of sorting it out or having to pay for the services of a professional designer, using such a service could be the ideal alternative.
