Maintaining the exterior of rental properties protects their value and keeps tenants happy. Here's what landlords need to know.
Rental property exteriors need regular maintenance to protect the investment and ensure the property remains attractive to tenants. A neglected exterior with green driveways, blocked gutters, and dirty fascias can affect the property's rental value and the speed at which it lets. It also sends a signal to tenants about the standard of management they can expect.
Annual gutter clearing is particularly important for rental properties. Landlords who neglect gutters and then face a damp claim from a tenant may find themselves liable if it can be shown that blocked gutters contributed to the problem. A simple annual gutter clear is inexpensive insurance against much larger potential claims.
Many landlords include exterior cleaning in their property maintenance schedule, arranging a professional clean between tenancies or on an annual basis. This is easier to manage if you use a local, reliable contractor who knows the property and can carry out the work efficiently with minimal need for oversight. We work with several local landlords in the Peterborough area and can arrange regular scheduled visits.
