I manage my own properties and have always waited until I have a vacant flat which is ready for letting before I start advertising.
I have a tenant due to leave in one month and I am concerned that the later I leave the advertising, the harder it will be to fill the flat, given the time of year.
So, my question is this - how early do you start your advertising for a new tenant. Do you wait until the property is empty? Do you start advertising as soon as notice is given (if you are sure the tenant will leave, that is). Do you put out a preliminary advert, by this I mean one stating you have a property coming up and contact now to avoid disappointment?
I do not really want to ask to show people round while the existing tenant is still there, I have always considered the property is not shown at its best with other peoples belongings in.
What are your thoughts or policies?
