Carry out regular inspections
Perform regular routine inspections to ensure the property's upkeep
We recommend carrying out property inspections within a month of the tenant moving in and then every six months.
At the start of the tenancy make sure the tenant has been advised in writing that you will be organising regular visits and before arranging an inspection, check the minimum notice that you need to give to access the property.
Agree a day and time when the tenant can be there, ideally when it is light so that you can easily inspect both the interior and exterior of the building.
Your main priority is to check the general condition of the whole property, but when it comes to mitigating against storm damage, it is important to pay particularly close attention to the condition of the roof and the garden.
