Maintenance
Maintenance
High quality properties require high quality maintenance oversight, and whilst each property is unique, the success of your investment depends on this being carried our effectively.
Whether home automation, air conditioning or under-floor heating, the life-span of various systems can be extended with the correct maintenance schedule. We have teams of fully vetted specialist contractors for every possible eventuality, who meet our detailed requirements for the speed and calibre of service and repair.
Inspections by us throughout the tenancy proactively highlight any points for further exanimation or recommendation, so that clients are fully appraised with their property’s condition, and can decide whether to approve any recommended/preventive works.
Compliance
Our team are regularly trained to ensure they are fully up to date with all compliance requirements. This ever-increasing, full time requirement for clients requires us to maintain a firm command of legislation, and organisation, to assure observation of the below:
- Anti-Money Laundering – Checks performed to confirm the identity and authenticity of any funds involved in a transaction.
- Energy Performance Certificate – It is a legal requirement for Landlords to have a valid EPC in place with a minimum band E rating before the property is advertised for let.
- Licensing – Property licensing varies from borough to borough and is regularly amended, making it increasingly to keep up with changing legislation in different parts of the city.
- Tenancy Agreements – These must be worded (and updated/amended) to reflect and be compliant with legislative changes, even during tenancies.
- Deposit Registration – In the majority of tenancies, deposits must be properly protected in accordance with legislation, to both protect Tenant funds, and avoid penalties for Landlords.
- Fire safety – To install and test working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and take reasonable steps to protect the property and tenants from fire and smoke damage
- Gas Safety Certificates – Proving annually that gas appliances and supply points in the property are safe.
- PAT – Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) ensures all portable electrical appliances are tested and approved as safe to use.
- EICR – An Electrical Installation Condition Report assesses the safety of the existing electrical installation within a property and describes its condition. The assessment will cover consumer units, protective bonding, lighting, switches and sockets.
- Repairs – Ensuring that repairs are completed in a complaint manner, and in accordance with Section 11 Landlord and Tenant Act 1985.
