What is meant by the term “void cleaning” for rental homes?

By 19th October 2023 No Comments

To understand what void cleans are, it is important to know what a void property is. In the world of housing, a void property is a property that is unoccupied, without a tenant presently in place. 

Void periods can be something of a nightmare for landlords, not least because an untenanted property will not be bringing in money from the tenant’s rental payments. In fact, the empty property will almost certainly be costing money in one way or another – perhaps through any mortgage payments that the landlord still needs to pay, as well as other possible costs such as council tax, utilities, insurance, and maintenance. 

If you are a landlord and you have a void property on your hands, you might be well aware of these expenses from past instances when a tenant of yours has moved out and left the property unoccupied. 

And of course, putting the property back on the rental market in order to attract a new tenant can be a cost as well, especially if you are depending on a letting agent’s services. 

It goes without saying, then, that many landlords will be anxious to ensure their void property has a new tenant in place as soon as possible, to ensure money is being generated from it once again. 

Void cleans can greatly help ensure a property is liveable – and not left vacant for too long 

One of the important things to acknowledge about rental properties is that they are not merely possessions or investments, but homes. If, then, you are a landlord who is eager to keep void periods for your property at a minimum, you will need to think carefully about how you can help ensure it is an attractive prospect as somewhere to live. 

There are many simple and relatively inexpensive steps that you can take to ensure this. These can include – but are not limited to – giving the property a lick of paint, and adding a few items of furniture that the tenant is likely to appreciate, such as a comfy two-seater sofa and chairs. 

However, dedicated void cleans – such as those that we can carry out at Nationwide Property Clean – can also play a major part in ensuring the property is kept clean, presentable, and safe. 

While you might be tempted to try to do the void cleaning of your property yourself in order to save money, the reality is that you might struggle to find the time to do this. And you are certainly unlikely to have the necessary expertise and equipment to carry out the most comprehensive and effective job.
