The key thing is to work out who is your most likely customer, and present your property accordingly.
Students need a blank canvas, so that they can add their own character, they need furniture too.
Families are going to bring their own. They will, however, expect it to be more than just basic. It should be well presented, in good decorative order and clean.

Most importantly its always safer going with a lettings agent and much less time consuming for you.
