After hours of discussions and arguements with my partner, we still haven't come to a conclusion of whether polished floorboards are a good idea in a rental property.
My partner thinks that since we are painting the house, doing up the kitchen and bathroom that floorboards with go with the property nicely and would also increase the rent.
My thinking is that the property needs doing up, but floorboards are a unnecessary cost. At 3k to do the whole house, we are better leaving the carpet in and let renters ruin that stuff! Plus we get tax depreciation on the carpet too don't we?
I am interested in other peoples thoughts on the matter!
Thanks,
Andrew.
