How long does a void property turnaround take?
Quick Answer
It depends on the scope. One contractor handling all trades — cleaning, painting, flooring and garden work — turns around a straightforward void faster than a full renovation including a new kitchen and windows, which is the longer job of the two. The biggest cause of slow voids is scheduling gaps between separate trades, not the work itself.
When a cleaner, decorator and carpet fitter are booked separately, each waits for the previous one to finish and the property sits empty between them. A single multi-trade team sequences the work back-to-back.
Every empty week costs a landlord a week's rent, so a turnaround that finishes faster pays for itself.
