IN THIS EPISODE
Your podcast host Jamie Madill interviews the highly successful interior designer, Jo Balston from Venture and Flourish, on how you can use effective design in your HMOs to attract the best customers to rent your rooms, boosting your income, and increase the value of your property.
Looking to add great design to your HMO property rooms? Make sure you listen to this episode of The HMO Experience Property Podcast!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Think about the design you want in your property at the beginning of the project, not at the end.
- Use Instagram for design inspiration.
- People looking for rooms to rent judge your advert in 2 seconds, and if the photos are good they’ll dwell for a maximum of 10 seconds to decide if they want to view it or not. So use design & good photography to attract as many potential customers as possible.
- Providing good quality designed rooms will make your property more desirable for tenants, often helping you to charge higher rent and increasing the value of your HMO property
BEST MOMENTS
“Don’t think ‘It’s a rental, I’ll go cheap!’, quality affects the durability of your property”
“Design and staging can help increase the value of your property by 8%”
“People don’t make enough of the communal space - stylise them so it becomes the hub of the house”
