How do i ensure my property is well maintained ?

To ensure a property is well maintained, both landlords and tenants need to play their part.

For landlords, regular property inspections (every 3–6 months) help catch issues early. It’s important to respond promptly to repair requests, schedule annual servicing for systems like heating and plumbing, and keep the property compliant with safety regulations. Investing in reliable tradespeople or a property management company can streamline maintenance and prevent costly long-term damage.

For tenants, keeping the property clean, ventilated, and reporting issues as soon as they arise is essential. Small tasks like changing light bulbs, managing rubbish, and maintaining any outdoor space go a long way. Good communication with the landlord ensures problems are resolved quickly and prevents them from escalating.

Ultimately, clear agreements, routine checks, and mutual respect create a well-maintained and enjoyable home for everyone involved.
