The Green Shoots of Spring

Having experienced the worst winter in 30 years across the UK, the green shoots of Spring are starting to blossom and the sun is finally shining upon us.

How did the snow affect you? As a landlord, making sure your property is solid and sound protects your investment. As a managing agent we are aware of the type of things that could have occured such as frozen pipes, boiler breakdowns, leaking roofs but also the difficulty in trying to let available property and move tenants in, in snow conditions.

How difficult was it for you if you were alone in trying to deal with those issues? Driving through the snow to solve these problems yourself or paying over the odds emergency callouts.

This wasn't an issue for us at Martin & Co, with our wealth of experience dealing with maintenance issues, our proactive approach, trusty contractors who battled through the snow to get things fixed and our office four wheel drive meant that it was like a normal working day.

With Spring round the corner, and the end of the tax year fast approaching, now is the time to prepare for this coming winter.

Martin & Co would recommend you ensure regular servicing of boilers, a structural review to be undertaken and repairs made whilst you can claim back the VAT for this financial year.

As Managing Agents, we can offer assistance to alleviate stress to you and free your time to enjoy the longer days.

Contact us today on 01883 332933 so we can help you protect your property investment for this and many more years to come.
