#Mid-Week Top Tip

Save money by doing a Point Property Condition Report on your rental property.

Hello

Most people will do a “walk round” of their property to make sure it looks presentable for viewings.

Most people will do an “inventory” on their property before a tenant moves in.

Most investors will ensure a property looks good to be advertised on the rental market but do not check the practicality of the property to ensure the initial tenant transition of a move in is smooth.

Tip- Ensure that the property is liveable and that all of the supplies are functioning and secure to ensure that your tenant doesn’t call you for maintenance issues- Costing you money!

Most reactive maintenance comes in the first 6 months of a tenant moving in. Such thinks as leaking pipes, loose door handles, doors which need shaved and loose door bars are maintenance that can be easily avoided. By doing a thorough property condition report on a property before a tenant moves in, will highlight any maintenance issues in one go which is a lot cheaper to sort out than sending individual tradesman to do jobs when they are reported by a new tenant.

NGU Homelettings have systemised how we check a property through our unique 793 point property condition report. This report checks all internal fixture and fittings as well as checking the externals of your property.
