Fitting out a rental property

If you are a landlord of a residential property and have rented it out for more than a year the chances are you will need to do some work before re-letting. Many landlords assume that once they have had a property decorated it should stay in a crisp and clean condition for years to come. BUT, this all depends on the quality of the materials and work – and how house-proud any tenants are.

Finding the perfect tenants for your property can be difficult with so many regulations to comply with and boxes to tick. Having tenants who respect their rental home is vital, - it is your long-term asset. But what happens when your tenants cause damage to your property?

Speaking to Alan Stewart,director & head of Residential Lettings & Property Management of Caxtons, it is clear that he is eager to point out that Caxtons is a member of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA), National Approved Letting Scheme (NALS), Association of Residential Managing Agents (ARMA), and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
