How To Fill Empty Rooms and Property Last Minute

Term is almost upon us. In some cases, Fresher’s Week has already begun. What do you do if you still have an empty property? In this fast-paced world of student renting, it is unlikely. However, with many people moving into BTL for students in recent years, there is a danger of glut that could leave some landlords with empty properties for part of the year.

 

University Message Boards

The web is the best tool you have for filling your property. Nearly everything is on the web these days, so it is likely that the university has a message board or forum where students can discuss issues. Many will also have areas where students can appeal to fill remaining rooms. Students do drop out, sometimes early on in the course, so these threads remain active all year. This will be one of the best places to connect with students still looking for somewhere to live and fill your property.

 

Notices Board

Communal noticeboards, especially during Fresher’s Week and around Student Union areas, will be ideal for old-fashioned advertisements. When students arrive in their university cities for the first time, they are unfamiliar with the place and how to get around. It is more than conceivable that they end up choosing the wrong property. Some may rent rooms with local families in the short-term but are looking for something more permanent. These types of students will always be on the lookout for somewhere else to live.

Consider Why It Is Empty

If it is Fresher’s Week and you are still struggling to fill your property, it is time to consider why. Perhaps the rent is too high? Maybe it has been a long time since you refurbished? Is it too far away from campus? Is there a problem with the street where it is located? You can some something about some of these issues, but not all. If the rent is too high, you should already have considered lowering it. It may be too late in the year for a revamp, but it should be your top priority for next summer.
