As you are asking and it is highly unlikely any poster here will be your tenant, why not ask your tenant what he'd like .. bit radical I know..
Clearly if there is no tenant, fair 'nuf...0 -
Hate carpets, it's one British invention that should be best forgotten.0

No tenant in yet so just getting an impression the oak floor is not laminate is 60s wood block My preference would be wooden floors because I think you can put down your own rugs and be cosy but dont have to live on a carpet someone else has lived on even if its been well cleaned!
But I know Im not the tenant but what would be the point of covering up whats there if its what people wnat but clearly its a split decision!
Thanks for all your opinions!0 -
If the place is a flat, semi or terrace then you the Landlord will get on much better with neighbours if it's carpets
Helpful neighbours can be worth a lot of money (if they tell you of problems early)0 -
Depends what part of the market you're going for. If it's a fairly affordable area/place, sure, put in carpets, but if you're going for a more expensive part of the market, many people won't even consider renting unless you have wooden floors.0

As a tenant I would like the flooring that would be most stain resistant and god forbid I ruined it, the cheapest to put right.
I didn't think anyone had parquet flooring anymore! I like it tho.Sadly, you don't have any badges yet but keep trying! See what you could get........... oh boo hoo I am crying into my wine.

Carpets upstairs, hard floor downstairs.0

Carpets everywhere expect bathrooms, toilets, shower rooms, kitchens, and anywhere else with sinks.0

Sigh... British invention?? Don't fink so...
Wrongipedia...Early carpets
The hand-knotted pile carpet probably originated in southern Central Asia between the 3rd and 2nd millennium BCE, although there is evidence of goats and sheep being sheared for wool and hair which was spun and woven as far back at 6000 BCE.
3rd & 2nd millennium BCE in Britain we'd 'ardly got beyond caves 'n mud huts... other places, as now, were much more advanced..0 -
Carpets except for bathroom and kitchen.
I don't like hardwood floors and loathe laminate.0
