The average void tenancy time has continued to decrease month-on-month since May to 2.1 weeks and the average tenancy time continues to be on the rise, meaning there has never been a more attractive time to be a landlord.
Winter months can cause costly and unwanted problems in a property, but the more work landlords put in to check over the areas which are more likely to cause them, the more likely it will be they will save valuable time and money.
Easy steps to protect your home from the cold
2. Servicing the boiler – Keeping on top of services is far cheaper in the long run compared to the call-out fee of a busy engineer for an urgent repair.
5. Lag the pipes – In order to keep pipes frost-free, landlords can wrap them in lagging which is nice and cheap but can save a tonne by stopping pipes from freezing and avoiding bursts.
2. Repair and maintain garden fences, windows, and other features
3. Check the roof as missing tiles as a bad storm can cause structural problems in the long term.
