Services for Landlords - Property Maintenance and Repair

Landlords' concerns about maintenance of their property are at two ends of the spectrum.

One is that the property will become damaged, neglected or run down. This is especially true if the rented property was your home and may be again. Even if this is not the case, property prices are rising constantly, and the investment in a rented house is a substantial amount of money. To ensure that properties are let quickly, they have to remain attractive and well presented.

The other extreme is the concern that the agent will run up extensive repair bills in an attempt to increase the agent's revenue.

Copleys maintenance department is central to the management and care of the property. It deals with all calls individually and takes into consideration the owners requirements about how repairs are to be carried out.

In addition the inspection process that is carried out on a regular basis ensures that properties do not become run down or neglected. Minor repairs are dealt with quickly and effectively, and owners are contacted where more costly repairs are needed. We also take into account long term maintenance issues for owners that are abroad or not able to visit the property. This includes interior and exterior decorating and maintenance and even complete refurbishment when this is required.

Our maintenance team, represented by one of our directors and our maintenance manager have many years of experience in this area and adopt a common sense , and practical approach to repairs. We are able to deal with some minor repairs ourselves. However, increasingly, legislation dictates the qualification of repairers for electrical and gas work.

We use local based companies who are carefully selected and vetted by us. Our contractors are checked for qualifications and insurance cover and only work to written job instructions to carry out the requested work. All charges are carefully monitored and reviewed.
