š” TUESDAY PROPERTY INSIGHT | THE WINTER CHECK EVERY LANDLORD SHOULD BE MAKING! āļø
November is here, temperatures are dropping, and for landlords, this is when small maintenance issues can quickly turn into expensive problems.
A little preparation now could save thousands in unexpected repairs later.
HERE ARE 6 THINGS EVERY LANDLORD SHOULD BE CHECKING THIS MONTH š
š„ 1. HEATING & HOT WATER
Is the heating working efficiently? Are tenants experiencing any issues? Don't wait until the coldest night of the year to discover a problem.
š 2. ROOFS & GUTTERING
Blocked gutters, loose tiles and damaged flashing can lead to leaks, damp and costly internal repairs.
š§ 3. DAMP & CONDENSATION
Check for signs of moisture, mould or poor ventilation. Identify the underlying cause rather than simply covering up the problem.
šŖ 4. WINDOWS & DOORS
Damaged seals and draughts can make properties harder to heat and increase energy costs.
ā” 5. SAFETY & COMPLIANCE
Check that required gas and electrical safety inspections are up to date and that smoke and carbon monoxide alarms meet the relevant requirements.
š 6. PROPERTY INSPECTIONS
A properly arranged inspection can identify maintenance issues before they become emergencies. Always respect the tenant's rights and appropriate notice requirements.
