Standard of homes when you move in

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.

• 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.
