Hi guy's and gal's just wondering if anyone can share some tips on renovating a townhouse to get the maximun rent. I've got one with tenants vacating soon so thought i would put in a new kitchen, flooring and do a few other small touch ups. Just wondering what people thought was the best flooring option floating floor boards/tiles/carpet. Anyone with any helpful tips no matter how small would be appreciated.
Cheers tony

We rent ourselves and personally prefer floating floor boards or tiles. I have found, in the many places we have rented, that landlords are apt to put in cheap carpets which attract stains no matter how hard we try to avoid it! As far as tiles or floor boards well that depends where you are. When we were in the alpine area of Vic we didn’t like the tiles as they were so cold, but in a warmer climate maybe that wouldn’t be an issue. If I could have any flooring I’d want though I’d choose good quality floating floor boards, they look good and are easy to clean and take care of.

I would go for laminate floors in the living areas (maybe tiles in kitchen but laminate floors should be ok) and a cheap carpet in bedrooms. Carpet in living areas I think is a bad idea as it will get stained very quickly- laminate floors are easy to clean and reasonalbly cheap and durable.

Personally I wouldn’t put laminate in any mid range or higher properties, and would always use tiles in kitchen and bathroom areas. Apart from that it really depends on what sort of look you are trying to achieve.
