Spring brings with it the feel of fresh starts and it’s the perfect time to give your rental property a thorough clean and reset. Whether you are a short or long-term tenant, a well-maintained home makes all the difference to your comfort and peace of mind. Here are our top tips on ways to refresh your property this spring.

Deep Clean

Now’s the time to tackle those places that don’t always get attention including behind appliances, inside cupboards, and under furniture. Clean windows, freshen up carpets, and dust skirting boards and light fittings to make your home feel brighter and more inviting.

Declutter

A clear space can work wonders in the home. Go through each room and donate, recycle, or pack away anything you no longer need or use. Organise cupboards and storage areas to make your space more functional and enjoyable to live in.

Add Spring Touches

Brighten up your home with small seasonal updates. Fresh flowers, new cushions, or a light-scented candle can completely lift the atmosphere. If your tenancy allows, temporary décor like removable wallpaper or indoor plants can make your rental feel more like your own.

Report Maintenance Issues

Whilst you are spring cleaning, keep an eye out for anything that needs attention, leaky taps, cracked tiles, or faulty light switches for example. Reporting issues promptly helps your landlord resolve them quickly and ensures your home stays in good condition.

Freshen Up Outdoor Spaces

If you have a garden, balcony, or patio, now’s the perfect time to tidy it up. Sweep paths, clear weeds, and add a few potted plants to sit back and enjoy the warmer weather outside.

Taking a bit of time to spring clean and refresh your rental not only makes it a nicer place to live, but also shows care and respect for your home. If you’re planning to buy a home this year, our friendly team is here to help you find your next property. Get in touch today!
