As the chill of winter fades away and spring finally becons, landlords will often want to take stock of their property and think about scheduled maintenance conducting property check-ups. After enduring the harsh and wet winter months, it’s important for landlords to assess the impact on their properties and set goals for completing any necessary maintenance or improvements. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the importance of wrapping up winter maintenance and how ROOMS®, a property company specialising in rent-to-rent services, can simplify this process for landlords.
Assessing Winter’s Toll:
Winter can be tough on properties, with cold temperatures, ice and lots of wind and rain taking a toll on the external fabric of the building. From inspecting roofs, soffits and gutters for leaks, to checking exterior paint work, fencing, and other outside structures, there is a lot to consider when assessing the aftermath of winter.
Setting Maintenance Goals:
Once the winter damage has been assessed, works should be scheduled in to avoid dropping off the to-do list, but also with a staged approach to lessen the cashflow impact. This may include scheduling repairs, replacing damaged materials, or investing in renewals to improve the property’s durability and appeal. Setting these goals early ensures that necessary maintenance tasks are addressed promptly, helping to prevent further damage and maintain the value of the property.
