Property investors need to consider many different factors when it comes to advertising their rental properties. Whether the flooring should be carpeted or not, and what kind of bathroom fittings their target market would prefer. Window treatments, solar control, and temperature control are no different. So why are external blinds a great option instead of traditional curtains?
They’re Easier To Maintain
Landlords need to maintain their rental properties regularly. Whether you have the same tenant for years, or your lease is regularly renewed, you need to maintain the property for each tenant. Maintenance includes looking after your window treatments, which can be a difficult and expensive undertaking.
You can’t always know for sure if your new tenants will look after your property while using it. They could have pets that damage the curtains, or they could neglect cleaning them for the duration of their stay. And if they smoke, they could stain the fabric and leave them smelling like an ashtray.
So when the time comes to maintain the property, not having to worry about the window treatments would surely make your job a lot easier. Fortunately, external blinds are easy to maintain – all you need to do is wipe them down periodically with soap and water. This is much easier than taking curtains or fabric blinds down, washing, drying, ironing, and then re-hanging them.
They’re An Investment
Being in the real estate industry, you’re likely that investing in your property will provide you with a higher return. When furnishing and repairing a rental property, you’re investing money into it. So why stop there? Fabric curtains can be dated and difficult to maintain. Fabric curtains on windows that get a lot of sunlight every day become brittle and faded and not last.
They Boost Appeal
Who is your target market? External blinds are perfect for many different people. They bring a great design aesthetic which will appeal to a wide range of tenants. The aesthetic qualities that your external blinds provide will already boost appeal, but what about other demographics?
When you’re trying to boost the appeal of a rental property, installing external blinds is a fantastic way to do it. External blinds are attractive and can assist refreshing a dated house into a modern home. Up to date installations are always a great investement.
They Can Add Value
Every investment you put into a rental should add value to the property. That means that you should be able to generate more profit from adding new investments. External blinds will be so appreciated and enjoyed by tenants. When the time comes to sell the property, the external blinds can add value.
