Learn why regular property maintenance is crucial for preserving the value of your investment. Our experts share insights on proactive maintenance strategies to keep your property in top condition.

1) Regular property inspection, it gives the property manager the chance to speak to the tenants and build relationships and give you an insight into maintenance issues that arise. 

2) A property is like a living working part of life and needs to be maintained, do not just collect the rent and not save for issues that might come up to keep the property in tip top condition this will save you money in the long run and not have huge unexpected maintenance bills. 

3) If you have good tenants keep them, the cost to market and let out again can outweigh the cost of a rent increase. Increase the rent by a small amount each year rather than hit the tenant with a huge increase this allows you to increase the rent and the tenant then expects a rent increase each year which is more reasonable than increasing the rent a huge amount in one go.
