Well it looks like we need to furnish the flat we want to rent out in order to get some serious viewings.

Most renters seem to expect a TV - what’s a reasonably cheap brand that works well and looks modern? Don’t want to go putting something like a Sony LCD in there!

Cheers,

That's interesting, maybe it's just a flat thing, with renting out the house I was told I'd be better off having it unfurnished!

Just get a bog standard 28 inch widescreen from Tesco or somewhere, £199 should see it all bought!

Would not bother with LCD/Plasma.

As for brand, Panasonic, Phillips or Sony would fit, but will be more than £199 I expect!

I am renting mine at present, and am putting my old 21 inch panasonic in my house, which seems perfectly adequate for rental market locally.

Don't forget your license

Olly, that's what we thought, but 3 different lettings agencies have said that furnished shifts faster - it's in Reading, home of many apartment developments!

Robert R - that's a corking idea!

Blue D - good point!

Its your responsibility. The landlord justs pays ground rent and service charge. The TV license and council tax is down to you.

Good - one less thing to think about.

Mind you, best remember to give my home address when buying a TV or the "authorities" will think I need another licence!

I wouldn't bother, I've rented in the past and never expected a Tv. I'm sure most people wouldn't expect it.
