Winter can bring with it issues and problems that many landlords don’t face in the summer. We hope to shed some light on areas that property owners should be aware of moving into winter. If you can prepare for these before they arise, you will be a step ahead of the game.
Inspect each property regularly to address any maintenance issues that require attention, rather than waiting to do this in between tenancies. If you have a professional property manager, hopefully you would have received regular inspection reports identifying any maintenance issues. Often landlords who wait until properties become vacant are those likely to experience far greater vacancies between tenancies, as the process grinds to a halt as they wait for quotes and tradesmen.
