When a property becomes vacant and a new tenant is going to move in we will:
-
Carry out a gas safety check where gas is installed and provide a certificate
-
Carry out a safety check of the electrical installation
-
Undertake a water hygiene test and provide a certificate
-
Remove any rubbish from the property and garden
-
Clean the property
-
Re-decorate parts, or all of the property if required
-
Carry out all of the urgent repairs and try to complete all other repairs whilst the property is empty
-
Keep the incoming tenant informed of the date the property will be ready
Sometimes we may leave minor repairs to be completed once the new tenant has moved in. If this is the case, the incoming tenant will be informed of the timescale for their completion. We may also leave work to the garden if this means the property can be let to a new tenant faster. The gardening work will be completed once the property is let.
