Now that winter has arrived, it’s perfect time to think about the following:
- Clean gutters free of leaves
and debris to ensure no rainwater overflow. Use a plumber and have them
check the roof space for any potential leaks. Any moisture going into a
property can result in mould, which spreads viciously in the cooler months
and could cost you more in repairs.
- Ensure
all pool gates meet legislation. The Building Act 1993 and
Regulations prescribe substantial fines to owners or occupiers who fail to
comply with the swimming pool or spa regulations. Contact your local
council for more details. They won’t be as busy during winter, so waiting
periods should be minimal.
- Service
any heating and cooling system before your tenant desperately needs them. Engage
reputable companies to conduct annual smoke alarm checks, servicing of
cooling systems.
- Gas heaters should be checked
every two years to ensure there are no carbon monoxide leaks. It is
important that this is conducted by a licenced plumber.
Make sure to speak with your Property Manager if you
have any concerns or want to engage the right people to undertake annual
maintenance.
The luxury property that my agent showed was lovely, good as new and well located. We hope that the dove mountain real estate deal turns in our favor! Even though it looks like that the seller will be in more control.
