Start with a property record
List the main equipment, model information, service records, and known issues. Keep the contact details of the relevant trades in one place. The aim is a useful working record, not a folder nobody opens.
Before the warmer months
Arrange air-conditioning servicing according to the manufacturer’s guidance. Check visible leaks, worn seals, shading, and ventilation. Ask a qualified technician to investigate unusual noises, smells, or electrical issues.
Prepare for wet weather
Arrange safe inspection of accessible drainage, external sealants, and areas with a history of moisture. Roofs and work at height need appropriate professionals. Record new damp marks and investigate the source.
Between tenancies
Review the inventory and visible condition, test equipment through appropriate personnel, organize cleaning, and agree repairs before advertising a move-in date. Document completed work and carry forward anything outstanding.
General property-care information, not legal, financial, or technical advice. Ask an appropriately qualified professional about decisions specific to your property.
