Reducing void periods: a checklist for the moment a notice arrives

A void period is rarely about price. It is usually about preparation. The actions to take the day a tenant gives notice — not the day they hand the keys back.

Reducing void periods: a checklist for the moment a notice arrives

A void period rarely begins on the day the tenant moves out. It begins on the day the notice arrives, in how the branch responds to it.

Start marketing the same week

New photos, refreshed copy, the listing live on the major portals within seven days of receiving notice.

Book the works in advance

Cleaning, redecoration, minor repairs — schedule for the day after check-out, not the week after. A property re-let to viewing within seven days of being empty pays back the entire month’s rent.

Outsource the legwork. Spend tomorrow winning new instructions.

A 15-minute call is all it takes to set up your branch and start ordering the services your team needs.
