Decorations And Carpets
We recommend these should be fresh and neutral in terms of colour and style. Higher quality properties will always attract better quality tenants and therefore it is vital that the property is well presented to meet the expectations of a potential tenant.
Domestic Appliances
These should also be of good quality and condition and subject to regular servicing. It is important that full instructions for use are left in the premises to avoid the need to call in an engineer to demonstrate. Gas and electrical appliances must meet legal safety requirements and oil appliances should be tested annually.
Gas, Electricity and Water
These services should be left connected and we will arrange for their transfer into the tenants name. Under the Housing, Health and Safety Rating System, tenants must be able to control and regulate heating systems.
Keys
Three complete sets of keys should be provided in all cases - two for the tenants and one to be retained at our office. We will be obliged to charge for key cutting if insufficient keys are supplied at the outset.
Empty Properties
Is important that you comply with any insurance requirements during vacant periods especially during the winter months. We would normally advise a full heating and domestic water drain down under those circumstances and can arrange this for you.
