How to Prepare Your Home to be Listed as a Furnished Property
19 Jun 2025 | AccommoZED
If you want to list your property as a furnished apartment, it's important to go beyond simply placing furniture in the space. Furnished apartments, especially those targeting professionals, expatriates, and corporate tenants, need to feel like a complete, move-in-ready home.
Start with the Essentials
Every furnished property should have comfortable, quality furniture in the living area, bedroom(s), and dining space. Think sofas, coffee tables, dining sets, wardrobes, and beds with quality mattresses. Don't forget bedside tables and reading lamps.
Equip the Kitchen Fully
A fully equipped kitchen is one of the biggest selling points. Include a refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, kettle, toaster, cookware, utensils, plates, glasses, and cutlery. Having a dishwasher and washing machine adds significant appeal.
Provide Quality Linens and Towels
Fresh, hotel-quality bed linen, pillows, duvets, and bath towels make a strong first impression. Consider having backup sets for longer-stay tenants.
Consider Technology and Connectivity
WiFi is essential — not optional. A TV with DSTV or streaming capability adds value. Ensure there are enough power outlets and consider providing an extension cord or two.
Safety and Backup Systems
Properties with backup power (generator or inverter), water tanks, and reliable security systems (alarm, motorised gate, security guards) command premium rates and attract higher-quality tenants.
Professional Cleaning and Staging
Before listing, have the property professionally deep-cleaned. Consider staging it with small touches — a few plants, neatly folded towels, a welcome basket. First impressions in photos matter enormously.
