Are There Any Rules About What Comes With A Property If Its
Fully Furnished, Furnished, Part Furnished Or Unfurnished?
No, there are no
strict rules but both expectations and reality can vary in
different areas of the country and even within different niche
sectors within the local markets.
Generally, a property offered as "fully furnished" would come with
all the main fixtures, furnishings and fittings, white goods etc.,
plus the standard crockery, cutlery, glassware, pots and pans etc.,
that a reasonable tenant would normally use on a day to day
basis.
At the other end of the scale, an "unfurnished" property would
normally be provided only with such basics as carpets, curtains and
light fittings.
Clearly, there are infinite variations between these two extremes
of what might be included. Therefore, the critical aspect, whether
you are a landlord or tenant, is to make sure that everyone clearly
understands what main items are, or are not, included before
finalising the tenancy agreement.
