Why design matters for rental yield

The property market is heavily saturated across all London boroughs, so every detail counts. Designing your properties the right way and modernising your portfolio can be crucial in achieving good rental yield and helping your portfolio stand out from the crowd.

“Just recently, we saw a 40% increase in rental yield and an almost 50% faster booking time for a thoughtfully designed, smaller flat in a less desirable location, compared to a bigger, unrenovated property in a more sought-after part of town - and this is a trend we keep seeing.”

“Well-designed properties are becoming increasingly important for renters and the results are in plain sight. Not only do they attract and draw residents in, but they also encourage them to take better care of their home when they get there. Residents want beautiful and functional spaces they can love and that fits all of their needs in one – this is something especially relevant today, and interior design does just this.”
