Speaking to the Sligo Champion, Tess commented on the current rental market in Sligo. “The rental market, similar to the sales market, has taken a hammering over the past couple of years. Landlords have seen their rental income reduce & in many instances have seen their rental property lie vacant for months on end. In saying this, good houses & apartments are always in demand. When I talk about good properties I mean well presented, clean properties with up to date heating systems, double glazed windows etc. These are all things we take for granted when purchasing a home, but they are very high on the list of requirements for prospective tenants also. I am inundated daily with requests from prospective tenants for all types of properties from 1 bed city centre apartments to 4 bed detached houses within easy commuting distance of Sligo. At the moment, tenants are really shopping around when their leases are coming near the end for a better quality house at an atrractive price. It comes back to the age old scenario that if you have a good product it will rent & will achieve a good rental price. The areas that are proving most popular at present are Strandhill Road & Strandhill village itself. I am keen to talk to anyone with an investment property in these areas, & indeed all areas of Sligo city & suburbs to discuss the service I provide & my competitive rates.”

Some tips for the successful letting of your investment property:

* Choose DNG Flanagan Ford!

* Present your property in a clean, attractive state

* Put yourself in the shoes of the tenant & make sure your property is somewhere you would like to live

* Have a realistic rental figure in mind – too often properties are pitched with a rental price which is excessive & tenants just won’t be interested

* Remember – First Impressions Last

* Remember – Every month your house is vacant you’re losing money
