How To List And Market Your UK Rental Property Yourself

Whether managing multiple assets or embarking on a new role as a landlord, when done right the task of listing and marketing your own property can be steeped in financial rewards. The key to successful property rental is to keep all aspects of management as straightforward and functional as possible.

CAN I RENT OUT MY HOUSE MYSELF?

Traditionally, rental properties have been marketed through estate and letting agents. However, with the rise of online advertising and online-only letting agents, the functions involved in managing a property have become more transparent than ever. As a result, cutting out the middle-man to market and manage rentals independently is not just an appealing thought, it’s a very real option.

HOW CAN I MARKET MY OWN PROPERTY?

Most property portal sites don’t deal with private landlords, which used to mean no choice other than to accept relinquishing control and using a third party to do the work.

This is where GoQik.com can make all the difference. Our innovative approach to property management is transforming real estate rentals, allowing owners to bridge the gap between stakeholder management and streamline every service, including developers, renters, and service providers.  

THE 5 TOP ADVANTAGES OF MARKETING YOUR OWN PROPERTY

Now you know it’s possible, you might be asking, what are the advantages of marketing my own property?

Let’s break it down:

1.       You will save money – letting agents typically take between 10% - 20% of monthly rental income – that’s on top of property management fees.

2.       You are the best person to represent your home – nobody knows the benefits and special features of your home quite like you. You can demonstrate those positive aspects without sounding generic or using a template description that is almost identical to the next property listing

3.       You will have full control over the information given – highlight your property without all the branding of a letting agent and the distracting information included on marketing materials and promotions

4.       You choose who can view your home – finding the right tenants is critical to successful renting; you can be specific about whom you let in your home

5.       You can negotiate offers directly – save time between communications and offers by speaking directly with renters to settle on your best price

WHAT INFORMATION SHOULD I INCLUDE IN A HOUSE LISTING?

Visuals have a more immediate impact than words, which is why it’s important to take photos of your property looking its best. Back this up with an engaging description, and use keywords to highlight attractive features to appeal to your dream tenants. Then simply decide on your selling price, and upload your property on GoQik.com. You can even add in full details of utility providers, property managers and agents to maintain a comprehensive overview of asset information, including accounts and finances.

With your entire portfolio managed in one place, listing and marketing your own property can bring the greatest gift of all; the time and money to focus on growing your assets for the future!
