Flooring for landlords

Flooring for your rental properties needs to serve many purposes. Not only will it need to provide a positive first impression to your tenants; it will need to be durable enough to cope with the hubbub of every day life without requiring extensive upkeep. The floors should be suitable for regular deep cleaning to ensure hygiene is maximised.

Buying a carpet for a rental property

For most landlords, they will prioritise carpets that are hard-wearing but also easy to clean, especially for short-term let properties that will require regular deep cleaning between tennants. If that is the case, you should prioritise choosing a carpet that can be bleach-cleaned. Ensuring that your tennants have hard-wearing and easy to clean carpets will help to deliver a pleasant and safe living environment in your rental properties. Additionally, they might also make your rental property more appealing when showing potential tennants around for viewings as a nice carpet can add warmth and cosiness to a property.

Most landlords and lettings agents opt for carpets in their rental properties that are neutral in colour, to offer the most style-versatile option. As stylish as some of the vivid colours and patterns can be, they aren’t necessarily to everyone’s tastes, whereas a classic cream carpet appeals to most.

Another thing to consider is that in most rental properties, every room is likely to receive high-footfall. Ensuring you choose an option that has this in mind will minimize your chances of having to prematurely replace your flooring, which can be a hassle, especially for rental properties.
