How professional furniture packages can boost your investment as a first-time landlord?

Buying a property in London’s thriving rental market can present an exciting opportunity, particularly for overseas investors and property owners looking to take advantage of its high rental demand and growing yield. The UK has seen an average rental yield of 5.60%, with rent prices showing steady growth over the past ten years, indicating that the buy-to-let (BTL) market provides healthy returns.

Nonetheless, an essential element that can improve the desirability of your rental property is the installation of high-quality, durable and aesthetic furniture. According to the Home Staging Association, professionally furnished properties – featuring inviting and well-designed living spaces – sell or let 73% faster than non-furnished properties.

To ensure our landlord clients get value for their money with quick lettings and better-asking rents, we have partnered with one of London’s most trusted furnishing companies, InStyle Direct. Their high-quality, durable and design-led furniture packages come in a range of options, starting at just £3,395 + VAT. Additionally, these time-saving packages can be installed in just 24-48 hours, making them an ideal solution for landlords looking to generate quick ROI.

First impressions matter: Furniture packages for Malaysian investors in London

In a competitive market like London, making a strong first impression is crucial. Thoughtfully furnished homes capture the attention of potential tenants, allowing them to easily envision the property as their future home. Therefore, it’s no surprise that 85% of the properties furnished by InStyle Direct are rented within a week of completion.

As an overseas landlord, choosing a UK-based professional, one-stop furnishing company like InStyle Direct can make your investment stand out. While cost is certainly an important factor, their prompt and effective service also saves you time and effort. All aspects of the process can be managed remotely from Malaysia, with no need for you to be physically present.

They handle everything, from researching and creating a cohesive design that appeals to your potential tenant’s profile, to having the furniture package professionally installed in less than 48 hours. This efficient and seamless approach ensures your property is tenant-ready without any management or logistic hassles.

Here’s what one of our landlord clients had to say about her experience with InStyle Direct.

“As an overseas home buyer, it is not easy to manage furniture installation remotely without a letting agent. James and Alex are super efficient. They helped me liaise with my concierge and confirm back and forth when things weren’t moving on. Nicole from the design team has excellent taste and made my home look very cosy. A real money-worth-the-value package. Excellent experience!” – WJ Hu

Window dressings are the finishing touch that creates a polished, homely environment. InStyle Direct also offers window dressing services that can be installed on the same day as your furniture package, ensuring everything is completed together seamlessly.

For overseas investors managing properties from afar, this attention to detail not only makes their property more appealing but also attracts higher-quality tenants.
