What matters in Horn
Let property: preparation for the specific location and property.
Apartments within the building
Explain lifts, ancillary rooms and shared facilities. In larger buildings, an accurate location plan helps applicants understand the relationship between entrances, storage and parking.
Houses and outdoor areas
For a house, include the garden, terrace, outbuildings and any equipment in the handover record. Discuss maintenance and use clearly in advance. Record outdoor condition as carefully as the interior.
Check the existing kitchen before listing
If a kitchen will remain in the Horn apartment or house, record each appliance, known functions and visible defects. Establish which fittings will form part of the offer and which might instead be acquired separately from the previous occupant. Maintain that distinction in photographs and descriptions. Unresolved questions are easier to address before publication than after a viewing where everyone has assumed the complete kitchen is included with the property.
Use consistent factual information at viewings
Give applicants the same information about room sizes, fittings, availability and explained costs. Include garden tasks for a terraced house and the actual available communal facilities for an apartment. Collect questions and make clarified answers available consistently at later appointments. This supports a decision about suitable use and prevents differing verbal additions from creating incompatible expectations about the same property and the arrangements attached to renting it.
