SURVEYS

We understand the importance of continued rental income to a buy-to-let investment and the impact that lost or withheld rent can have. We provide a fast, efficient and professional service to minimise impact on income from void properties. We are also aware that tenants, while necessary, can have a negative effect on your asset. Destructive Tenants can create significant problems and expense through misuse or abuse of the property. This may be deliberate such as wilful physical damage or incidental like condensation and mould resulting from lifestyle choices and lack of knowledge. The services that we offer include the following:

Dampness and Condensation Surveys

We use specialist equipment to assess moisture levels within residential properties and identify causes of dampness issues. These often result from a mixture of defects, maintenance problems and how the dwelling is used. We provide reports with findings and recommended actions to deal with the problems found during our survey; and we inform tenants how changes to the way the property is used can have positive benefits to them.

Flood Damage Remediation

Escapes of water commonly occur in flatted properties, often related to failure of inexpensive white goods or leaks from baths or showers. We can investigate the causes of water damage, and specify and supervise the required remedial works.

Investigating Defects and Failures

We can investigate problems resulting from premature failure of finishes or components, poor maintenance or general decay, identify the causes and specify repairs to fix the problem(s).

Preparing Technical Specifications

When Landlords let contractors propose different repair solutions they have no way of knowing whether their quotes represent value for money. We can prepare clear descriptions of works to ensure contractors are pricing the same piece of work.

Obtaining tenders and quotes

Where possible and dependent on the value of the works we may obtain several prices for specified repairs and construction works. This is designed to achieve the best possible value for money.

Works Supervision

We can monitor repair works to ensure that they are completed to an acceptable standard. We work with contractors and tenants to promote clear communication and deal with any technical issues that arise. We stay in touch with our Client throughout the process.

We would be happy to discuss your requirements and how we can assist you with any of the above or related services. There is no charge for initial advice.
