Addressing the issue of repairs in rented accommodation
October 12, 2007 | Posted by Catherine
It can be a frustrating business waiting for repairs to be carried out in rented accommodation. We know that. If you rent a flat from us we want everything to be working properly. However this summer we took a giant step towards relieving the pain of waiting for repairs when we increased the minimum amount which could be spent before we seek permission from the landlord.
This can cover all sort of items, including minor joinery or plumbing and electrical repairs. For example, if we need to replace an extractor fan, previously we might have despatched a trades-person to give us an estimate, then we would find the landlord to sanction the cost. Particularly during a holiday period this might be a lengthy process. Now, thanks to the raised payment threshold, we can get the job done quicker and everybody wins.
