Landlords

Things to Consider

Many landlords who cannot face the possibility of getting a tenant, sorting out an electrician, or collecting regular monthly rental payments decide to hand these details over to a professional and committed team like JMHA. We can find ideal tenants and manage the property at no extra cost. Prior to leasing the property, the following needs to be checked:

• Is the property in good quality, self-contained accommodation?
• Is the property is structurally sound?
• Are kitchen and bathroom in satisfactory condition?
• Do the bedroom sizes conform to local authority standards?.
• Does the property have a separate living room?
• Does the property have loft insulation?
• Is there a self-closing fire door to the kitchen?*
• Is there a fire risk assessment for communal areas?*
• Is there a working lift for flats on the third floor or higher?*
• Does the bathroom have a bath (subject to property or type)?
• Are there durable linoleum floor coverings in the kitchen and bathroom?
• Are there well-maintained shared areas (if applicable)?
• Does the property have sufficient ventilation?
• Is there a front access if it is a flat above a shop?*
• Does the property have smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors and heat sensors?*
•  

  It is imperative that all properties have a fully working, checked and certified cooker, fridge and freezer, and appropriate floorings, nets and curtains. Some properties may require furnishings. Please contact JMHA for full details.
