At home you notice the cracks in the walls, the floor board moving, replace a light bulb, and perhaps a water patch expanding by the bath tub. As it’s your home you make a mental note of these maintenance points (which might stay on your long to do list) though at least you see them every day.
When it comes to your dream property investment often the thought of regular inspection is overlooked. Simply due to the hassle of having to spend ten minutes every few months to check in on the condition of the property becomes tiresome, perhaps logistically impossible due to location. However a house is living space and needs TLC. Allowing for standard wear and tear (which in reality is an opinion, try discussing wear and tear with an insurance loss adjuster) simple issues of regular cleaning, gardening or condensation can escalate where tenants simple don’t treat the house as a home.
Letting agents should inspect the property every 3-6months under full management contracts. However do you ever receive a report or even a picture report of updates and concerns? Some do some don’t. At Meklet we take a serviced apartment style approach to each property so we know that the cleaner (every 2-3 weeks) or colleague will spot any potential issues avoiding costly surprises at the end of a tenancy. Instead we can list and attend to an issue immediately omitting the need for time consuming full inspection planning every 3-6 months. It’s as if we are your eyes seeing the issues (though our ‘home improvement’ to do list stays short).
Let Meklet keep on top of inspections so that you don’t have any surprises at the end of a tenancy agreement ever again.
