Landlords—Avoid the Void! How to Keep Your Property Earning

One of the biggest headaches for landlords? Empty properties. It’s not just about lost rent—rental voids often mean extra maintenance costs, utility bills, and a whole lot of hassle.

At Browns Estate Agents, we’re all about keeping things smooth, simple, and stress-free for our landlords. So here’s how to avoid the void and keep your property working for you, not sitting empty.

🎯 Start Early

As soon as your tenant gives notice, it’s go time! Get your advertising lined up straight away.

📸 Use high-quality, eye-catching photos

📝 Write a clear, compelling listing

📲 Share it across property portals and social media to reach the widest audience.

🔍 Screen Smart

Not all enquiries are created equal. Use pre-screening questions to filter out time-wasters and focus on serious, suitable applicants. This step alone could shave days (or even weeks) off your letting time!

⏰ Be Flexible

Evening and weekend viewings? Yes, please! Many great tenants work 9 to 5, so offering flexible viewing slots makes it easier for them to say “yes” to your property—faster.

🛠 Act Fast Between Tenants

Once the old tenant moves out, every day counts. Have your trusted contractors on standby to handle repairs and touch-ups right away. A clean, fresh-looking property always rents quicker.

🧠 Or… Let Us Handle It All!

The easiest way to avoid long voids? Leave it to the experts. Our local lettings team knows the market, the process, and how to attract long-term, reliable tenants—fast.
