Wondering whether to go for a furnished or unfurnished rental? Here’s everything you need to know to make the perfect choice for your next home.
Unfurnished properties: the blank canvas
Unfurnished properties typically come with lower monthly rent, giving you more flexibility with your budget. While traditionally these homes came completely empty, nowadays most unfurnished rentals include white goods as standard – that’s your fridge, washing machine and cooker sorted.
You’ll generally find basic fixtures like built-in cabinets, light fittings and bathroom essentials, but the rest is up to you. Perfect if you’ve already got furniture you love or want to create your own unique space from scratch.
Want to simply turn the key and start living? Furnished properties are the hassle-free option, with everything you need already in place. You’ll typically find all the essentials – beds, sofas, dining table and chairs – plus those all-important kitchen appliances.
There’s no standard checklist for what’s included, so each property offers something different. The exact items will be detailed in your rental agreement, giving you complete clarity before you sign.
Flexibility when you need it
Found the perfect property but not keen on that dining table? Or need an extra chest of drawers? Just ask. While the current competitive rental market means landlords can be selective, it’s always worth discussing your specific needs with us. We’ll happily liaise with the landlord about adding, removing or swapping items.
Part-furnished: the rising star
The increasingly popular middle-ground option gives you the best of both worlds – essential items provided with space for your own treasured pieces. Every part-furnished property is different, making viewings essential to see exactly what’s included.
