In London’s fast-moving rental market, timing and presentation can make or break returns. A well-presented, fully furnished property rents out 40% faster and achieves up to 18–22% higher rents compared to an unfurnished one. This is why it’s important to have a furnishing partner that can turn a property from empty to market-ready in as little as 24 to 48 hours*—without cutting corners on style, durability, or service.

Why does speed matter when furnishing a London property?
London’s rental market moves fast, and delays mean lost rental income or missed sales opportunities. Having a furnishing partner who can deliver style, speed, and quick results has benefits:
Faster rental income & reduced void period: With fast furnishing, your property doesn’t sit empty for long, helping you generate rent sooner while minimising void periods and marketing costs.
Competitive edge: Fast turnaround gets you listed before competitors & helps you stay move-in ready for tenants.
Maximising rent potential: Furnished properties achieve 18–22% more rent than unfurnished ones, so delays directly impact earning potential.
Meeting critical deadlines: Developers, agents, and tenants work on strict timelines, fast furnishing turnaround help you meet these dates without compromises.
Appealing to tenants: High-value corporate tenants need immediate, furnished occupancy.
Less seasonal slowdowns: Fast furnishing keeps you in the right rental cycle, helping you cover the peak rental seasons – summer & student letting period.
