As the academic and working calendar resumes, September is also a prime month for lettings. Whether you’re a first-time landlord or a seasoned investor, here’s what today’s tenants are prioritising in the autumn rental market:

1. Energy Efficiency
With colder months on the way, tenants are more conscious than ever about heating costs. Properties with strong BER ratings or efficient heating systems are topping wish lists.

2. Home Office Spaces
Remote work isn’t going away. Even renters are now seeking properties with a dedicated workspace or flexible layout that allows for hybrid working.

3. Furnished but Flexible
Tenants love tasteful furnishing, but increasingly prefer semi-furnished options to add a personal touch. Keep it modern, minimal, and neutral.

4. Good Wi-Fi & Amenities
Internet speed and location perks (transport links, gyms, cafés) play a major role in autumn letting decisions.

5. Responsive Management
Renters want reliable property managers. At OMD, we ensure tenants feel supported with quick maintenance turnarounds and open communication.
