Benefits of Renting
Tax efficient (VAT registered companies can recover VAT on rental charges and payments for furniture rental are fully deductible as a business expense)
Total flexibility – style and colours of furnishings can be selected to fully co-ordinate with existing floor coverings and décor of a rented property
Furniture that is of a more suited size (furniture from some other countries may not fit well into UK properties which tend to be smaller)
Rented electrical goods that are designed for the UK with televisions tuned for UK channels and ready to use.
No need to delay moving into your property (temporary furnishings can be installed whilst awaiting arrival of your bespoke new furnishings)
Cut down the stress! Packing and moving home (and your own furniture) takes time and effort
No red tape! Renting eliminates issues with customs, shipping delays and breakages
No damage to your own personal furnishings in transit
You could rent an already “furnished” property but the furniture and household goods that come with it will probably have already been used by previous tenants and the style may not be what you would have chosen
You could buy new furnishings and other household equipment, but this takes time and can be stressful organizing delivery from several different suppliers and also at the end of your stay, disposal may prove a problem.
