Any changes of an alarm code must be reported to our office. If there is an emergency within a property whereby an alarm cannot be deactivated due to a change in code you will be charged for an engineer to be called out.
We are obliged to ensure that all gas appliances are safety checked annually and you will be given a current certificate at the start of a tenancy. The electrical equipment must also be safe and we strongly recommend to our clients that the appliances are periodically checked by a qualified electrician. The furniture and furnishings must also comply with the necessary safety regulations and are duly checked prior to letting a property.
Be sure of your commitments and discuss your requirements with our staff. This will enable us to ensure that the tenancy agreement provides the facility for you to give notice at the appropriate time. Otherwise you may find yourself locked into a legal agreement when your plans have unexpectedly changed.
You will be responsible for the property and will be expected to report any repairs that are the landlords' liability. However, general maintenance, for instance changing light bulbs, keeping the drains clear, looking after the garden etc. will be your responsibility. If the landlord himself is looking after the property, you will be notified of his telephone number so that you may contact him directly should any problems occur.
Dependant upon the type of service your landlord has opted for, a member of staff may visit you approximately 3 months after the commencement of your tenancy to discuss any problems or queries that you may have encountered.
