We have found that a good relationship with tenants is the key to a smooth-running tenancy. As property managers, this relationship is our job but it is important that the tenants feel comfortable in their new home, and that they are receiving value for money.
It follows therefore that a well presented and maintained property in good decorative order will go a long way towards this, whilst also achieving a higher rental figure. In our experience tenants are also more inclined to treat such a property with greater respect.
Electrical, gas plumbing, waste, central heating and hot water systems must be safe, sound and in good working order. Repairs and maintenance are at the landlord's expense unless misuse can be established. Interior decorations should be in good condition and prefereably plain, light and neutral.
