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.

WHAT I DON’T UNDERSTAND, why don’t people do a detailed property condition report on their rental property to make sure it not only looks good for viewings but is suitable for living in!



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.
