Research by lettings agency Carter Jonas revealed what the company calls the top priorities for tenants as the 2020s begin. The survey - which was taken at the end of 2019 - only spoke to 300 renters, but Carter Jonas shared the findings with trade publication Letting Agent Today.
High-speed broadband was outlined as the most in-demand ‘essential' for a rental property, even more so than a modern kitchen or bathroom. That said, when ranked on what tenants would be prepared to pay more for, newly-refurbished kitchens and bathrooms came out on top.
The research looked at essentials for renters of apartments and houses. For apartment renters, the top three essentials were high-speed broadband, a modern kitchen/bathroom and allocated parking. For house tenants, high-speed broadband also came out on top, followed by off-street parking and a modern kitchen/bathroom.
The three least important features for apartment renters, meanwhile, were revealed to be outside space, blackout blinds/curtains, and a property alarm, while the least important essentials for house tenants were fitted wardrobes, blackout blinds/curtains and a property alarm.
The survey also asked tenants to list features it would be willing to pay a premium for. For flat tenants, the top three features worth paying more for were a newly refurbished kitchen and bathroom, outside space and allocated parking, while house tenants said they would pay extra for a newly refurbished kitchen and bathroom, a more energy efficient property and a garage.
The three features flat tenants were least willing to pay for were communal leisure amenities, workspace and a concierge service, while the three features house tenants were least willing to pay more for were air conditioning, a property alarm and a media/family room.
