Landlords

Inspecting your property periodically is an essential part of the management process – helping to protect your investment, and ensure your tenants are taking good care of your property.

An inventory is one of the single best ways of protecting both tenants and landlords – but despite this, many landlords still don’t take detailed inventories on the condition, contents and cleanliness of their rental properties at the start of a tenancy.

At CJ Property, we’re always looking for ways to improve our service for the benefit of our landlords.
This month, we’ve launched a brand new menu of additional services for our ‘Let Only’ landlord clients. From tenant communications and renewals, to property checks, inventories and check outs – it’s professional, expert support, as and when you need it.

With Autumn in full swing and winter on the way, it’s the time of year when condensation, damp and mould begin to set in – and they will only get worse over the coming months.

This year, don’t let mould ruin your home or investment property – keep it dry and comfortable with this guide to controlling condensation.

As the mercury falls and Autumn arrives, it’s the perfect time to take stock and check the heating system in your property. Whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, taking steps to ensure that your boiler is working properly now could save you time, effort, discomfort and cost when winter arrives.

Avoid getting left out in the cold and ensure your properties stay warm and comfortable throughout the winter months by following these top tips.
