Think young when buying to let
Writing in the Property Signposts newsletter, he says that similarly, young buyers or tenants are much more likely to view a spare bedroom as a potential study or computer room than as occasional accommodation for visitors.
"In any case time on the Internet usually takes up quite a chunk of their day and they appreciate having a dedicated space to go online."
"Many also want space for gym equipment, and most insist on good 'lock up and go' security. Environmental awareness is also growing and greater energy-efficiency is also becoming a must."
Meanwhile, he says, a well-designed kitchen with plenty of work surface and cupboard space is still high on the priority list of most younger buyers. "As outdoor entertainment is common in summers, both buyers and tenants favour homes with a patio and/or a dedicated braai area." |
