Best practice when you own a property
– Maintenance and Compliance
Owning a
property should always be an asset. Maintenance is key to ensuring rising
values, reduce the incidence of unplanned repairs and that your viewer sees the
place sparkle.
After many
years of experience you should always plan to routinely service heaters, plan
repainting, re-silicone and making good blemishes. There is always a struggle
to balance between return on investment and presenting a show apartment but we actually
mean fixing stuff that is broken. Our Maintenance Department can advise and
guide you on this but most importantly give a fixed price by trusted and tested
contractors. They are open 24/7 nearly 365 days a year (they are human) Call
our main office number 0161 839 9654
to be put through.
Pad also arrange for EPC (Energy
Performance Certificates), Gas Safe Certificates, Electrical Certificates as
required. There are legal obligations as a property owner that need to be
addressed and from the outset you want to be sure that agreements are deemed
fair (in compliance with Office of Fair Trading) that any agreements are
approved and enforceable. Any deposits need to be registered correctly with an
approved Deposit Scheme…Pad use the Deposit Protection Scheme (DPS).
As a
professional investor or reluctant landlord you must be prepared to set out
correctly and Pad can give you peace of mind and ultimately a
greater return. We can reduce voids and obtain best market rents with a more
controlled management of the property (and the tenant).
