When the temperature drops, the cold weather and heavy snow can be a landlords expensive nightmare. The main issues reported by tenants are boiler breakdowns, burst water pipes, frozen pipes and blocked drains. While we do what we can to ensure your tenants know how to turn the water supply off, what actions to take when pipes freeze and recommend them to keep the heating on low, there are also measures that the landlord are responsible for.
Martin & Co Nottingham recommend simple precautions that all landlords can take to make rental properties winter-proof. To prevent further problems and avoid a painful contractor bill, we believe the below are essential:
1- Carry out an annual boiler service to avoid a winter breakdown, this will also forestall any dangerous build up of carbon monoxide caused by frozen gas flues.
2- Insulate your exposed pipes, boiler pipes and water tanks to avoid bursts and leaks.
3- Carry out a roof investigation to ensure there are no loose or missing tiles after the bad weather.
