How Smart Technology Can Improve Your Short Term Lets

Yeah, we know the word smart is as ubiquitous as ‘hustle’ or ‘breakthrough’ but when we use it in this context, we know we really mean smart. We use smart technology that can help keep your short term lets secure, and we’re going to be talking about that today.

Thinking renting your property out? 

If you’re looking to let your home out for a short period, it could be a 6 months lease for a local tenant, or you may be thinking of something more short-term similar to an Abnb, then you’re more likely to get tenants if you have home smart technology. What’s more, they could be more willing to pay more too if they know your home comes with this feature.

We have a comprehensive supply of smart technology products

Here at Sealco we have an impressive range of smart home technology that comes as part of a suite. This includes two-way microphones, keyless door locks or Yale smart locks. We know security is a top security concern for both owners and tenants, so we work hard to ensure our home smart technology products are comprehensive enough for our customers’ needs.

Security matters

Your short-term tenants have security as their highest concern where a short term let is concerned. Add to that the prospect of losing the keys and forgetting to lock the door. This can be a concern that’s born out of the fact that sometimes short-term visitors can have more than one method of entering the building. If you share the entrance during your stay somewhere, not everyone will be as vigilant. If you want to provide security for your tenants, then investing in home technology is one sure way of doing this.

Provide security and flexibility to you and your guest

Smart door locks are always beneficial when you’ve got more than person using the front entrance as we’ve already seen. It leaves a tenant with a lack of control over their own safety, but smart home technology can really help by giving tenants power over who they allow access to. They can see, hear and speak to whoever has requested access before they let them in. It also gives the owner much more flexibility and control when renting out their property if they’re away.

Smart technology is here to stay

Smart home technology can encompass many different technology and integrates with your household appliances. This would include entertainment systems, lighting and heating, which can then be connected to your tablet or phone applications. You can see that this has been done with many appliances already – gas is one example that is using smart technology and many others are following suit. Tenants are able to control things like their thermostat, locks, lights and their alarm systems from their phones or tablets. When smart technology and security come together it’s giving you, the owner, control and your tenants too. That way everyone can feel safe in the knowledge their security is well taken care of.
