Three Top Tips To Save On Property Maintenance

Property maintenance is one of the slightly annoying realities of rentals. Many landlords put off maintenance until there’s a gap between tenants, but this can be a mistake. Estate agents can only do so much.Undertaking regular maintenance is the best way to keep costs down.
Inspect For Bathroom Cracks
One of the areas to require the most costly maintenance is the bathroom. This is because hidden damp can cause problems that can’t be detected until it’s too late. Grout and sealant keep water away from the main wall, but any crack or hole can cause a break in the seal, allowing water to seep through and destroy the whole wall. Close inspection of the grout and seals around tiles can circumvent this. Any fractures should be re-sealed immediately.

Schedule An Inspection After Bad Weather
Rain and snow have a tendency to bring out the faults in a property, so the smartest time for landlords to check on maintenance issues is directly after a spell of bad weather. This approach ensures problems with damp are spotted as soon as possible, saving thousands of pounds in the long term.

Drain The Water Tank
Hot water systems can be one of the bigger regular expenses in a rental, whether it’s central London property or flats to rent in Sheffield. The hot water tank may seem to be something that keeps going until it needs replacing, but it is possible to extend its life by periodically clearing it of sediment. This can be done by completely draining the unit as per manufacturer instructions.
