A stitch in time saves nine

A stitch in time saves nine

The phrase “never put off for tomorrow what may be accomplished today” carries particular weight for landlords in spring.

Have you been putting off any maintenance jobs that you’ve been made aware of over the cooler months?

Now is the time to indulge your property in a little spring rejuvenation, an investment that will keep your rental property in tip-top leasing shape for years to come.

Attend to your garden before the heat of the summer comes – an essential maintenance factor if your property is in an area with high fire risk.

Have your gardener or handyman clear leaf matter and potential flammables from your yard, and make sure the gutters are spick and span.

Similarly, address any little issues which may present inside the property – mould spotting in the bathrooms, windows with cracks, leaky air conditioners, underperforming appliances and maintenance relating to the age of your investment.

By taking care of small problems before they become big ones, you save yourself the cost of larger reparations at a later date.
