Should I let out a property furnished or unfurnished?

Good Morning Folks

I am in the process of buying my first buy to let property.  Obviously, it would have no furniture or any type of storage units.  Before letting it out to tenants, should I put some in some sort of furniture such as beds, settees, chairs, small cabinets etc.?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

I would let it unfurnished. Much less to maintain during the tenancy and less to argue over damaged/wear or tear when they move out! But if it's furnished I think you can claim 10% of the rent off the tax bill
