Confused over party furnished/fully furnished!

Soldierearth54

Hi,


I was advised by a prospective letting agent that I may use that partly furnished in a rental property equates to white goods only but she then advised each letting agent has their own standards on this.


This seems odd to me as I would've expected there to be one standard that would allow all involved to know what to expect.


What are other people's experiences and what do they class as:


Unfurnished
Partly furnished
Fully furnished


Thanks,

I say white goods are not classed as even part furnished.

part furnished could be, bed, sofa. table chairs, no extras or frills, ie cushions, lamps, rugs etc.

Hi

I am an Inventory Clerk and often come across this.

In my experience, the vast majority of rental properties are 'unfurnished' i.e. no furniture. Although most do have white goods, they are not classed as furniture.

We work on the premise that 'furnished' means that you could move straight into the property. Normally, this means that if there is a bed and sofa, then it's furnished.

We consider part-furnished to be where there could be furniture i.e. wardrobes, chest of drawers, bedside cabinets, coffee tables etc. but no bed.

Regardless of how the LL or Agent describes the property, invariably it is down to whatever the Inventory describes it as.

There is no legal definition, or standard definition.

Look at the inventory to see what is included.
