Study Reveals Top Features UK Renters Want in Their Homes

A new study by Simply Business has identified the most desirable property features for renters in the UK. According to the research, renters value counter space, good ventilation, large windows, and space for a double bed above other features.

The study, commissioned by the insurance provider, examined what matters most to renters on a room-by-room basis. These findings may help letting agents and inventory clerks better understand tenant preferences when marketing or preparing rental properties.
