Say you’ve seen it in The Property Scene October 26th 2023 The Property Scene: 01253 392 064 19 ESSENTIAL WINTER READING FOR LANDLORDS! 7 TOP SURVIVAL TIPS FOR THE BIG FREEZE... CHAMPION PROPERTY SURVEYORS Covering Preston, Garstang, Ribble Valley, Fylde Coast and North West including Cumbria Always have an independent survey report carried out on any property before you buy. SURVEY REPORTS • Rics Homebuyer Report • Rics Building Survey • Valuation Advice Champsurv CHARTERED SURVEYORS The mark of property professionalism worldwide championpropertysurveyors.co.uk OVER 40 YEARS EXPERIENCE championdavid@ymail.com Call Marie or David on 01253 882881 or 07966 303635 COVID-19 Pandemic All Survey Inspections under taken in accordance to the UK Government Guide Lines. 1. Make sure your tenants are informed Keep your tenants well informed about potential winter property damage. Do not assume that your tenants know how to deal with the cold weather. It is your responsibility as a landlord to make sure they have the information they need. Put together an information pack including details such as basic boiler operation etc and remind tenants to periodically turn the heating on using the timer if they are not in the property for several days. 2. Think about insulation A fully insulated property is crucial for the winter. Make sure the basics such as the obvious draft points are covered and loft insulation is in good condition. Invest in some draft excluders to keep gaps underneath doors and between windows secure. Also check the cladding around your pipes and make sure that taps are not leaking. 3. Check your pipes Inspect all external pipes and guttering for breaks and blockages. Blocked pipes can quite easily freeze during the cold months, expand and then burst, which can cause expensive water damage. Check that all pipes are in good order and that they are correctly secured to the walls and also have a look at the brickwork around your property for cracks, which could potentially allow water in. Clear out any guttering regularly especially if there are trees overhanging your property. 4. Fix underlying problems in advance Deal with those little snagging problems such as a drafty door, a flimsy pipe or damp room now, rather than later. By sorting the little problems before the really cold weather sets in, you can help to prevent bigger, potentially expensive problems later on. 5. Minimise void periods If your property is going to be empty over the winter, you need to make extra plans to ensure it is maintained and no disasters happen. Void periods are a major threat during the cold months to landlords. Make sure that you visit regularly, ensure the heating is kept on at a low level and that condensation does not build up. 6. Stock up for emergencies It is a good idea to keep a few key items in your property just for emergencies such as a torch, a fan heater and basic tool kit; this will help to ensure that minor disasters can be dealt with quickly and effectively. Remember that your tenants may not be able to deal with all issues on their own therefore make sure that they also have contact numbers for you and local tradesmen. 7. Check your insurance policy Maintenance-related issues are often not always covered by certain insurance policies. Make sure that you ready thoroughly and understand the terms of your insurance policy, both for your own peace of mind and for your tenants! Specialist landlord insurance is available from a number of brokers.
