Hi folks,
I've lost my job recently and had to move country. Luckily the new employer has paid for the relocation, but now we're faced with having to rent out our house in Ireland.
Most of our furniture has been moved, and we're fitting the house with the very basics. Even that is costing a fortune at the moment.
My question is, how do people fit out the bedrooms? We have a 3-bed house, with one double bed in it at the moment, and the small bedroom (box room) has a computer desk and chair in it. I used it as a study and that's all you can fit in it, or a tiny bed.
I'm not sure what to do with the empty bedroom. Should we provide a bed for it? Should it be two single beds or a double? Should we wait until we get a tenant and then look for a bed? It might take weeks to deliver which could cause problems.
Also the double bed is 7 years old. Do people expect new furniture when they rent? I could replace the mattress, but that's an additional expense as well and we're trying to keep the costs down.
Just looking for advice, never done anything like this before and would prefer to avoid the common mistakes.
Thanks!
