Preparing the Property
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. It is important that the Tenants should feel comfortable
in their temporary home, and that they are receiving value for their money. It follows therefore
that a well maintained property in a good decorative order will go towards this, whilst also
achieving a higher rental figure. Tenants are also more inclined to treat such a property with
greater respect.
General Condition
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 Landlords expense unless misuse can be
established. Interior decorations should be in good condition and preferably plain, light and
neutral.
Furnishings
It is recommended that you leave only minimum furnishings, and these should be of reasonable
quality. It is preferable that items to be left are in the property during viewings. A list of
recommended items is detailed over. If you are still unsure about certain items we will be able
to advise.
Personal items, ornaments etc.
Personal possessions, ornaments, pictures, books etc. should be removed from the premises,
especially those of real or sentimental value. Some items may be boxed, sealed and stored in
the loft at the owner's risk. All cupboards and shelf space should be left clear for the Tenant's
own use.
Gardens
Gardens should be left neat, tidy and rubbish free, with any lawns cut. Tenants are required to
maintain the gardens to a reasonable standard, provided they are left the necessary tools.
However, few Tenants are experienced gardeners, and if you value your garden, or if it is
particularly large, you may wish us to arrange visits by our regular gardener.
Cleaning
At the commencement of the tenancy the property must be in a thoroughly clean condition, and at
the end of each tenancy it is the Tenants' responsibility to leave the property in a similar
condition. Where they fail to do so, cleaning will be arranged at their expense.
Information for the Tenant
It is helpful if you leave information for the Tenant, e.g. on operating the central heating
and hot water system, washing machine and alarm system, and the day refuse is collected etc.
Keys
You should provide one set of keys for each Tenant. Where we will be managing we will arrange
to have duplicates cut as required
