Landlords and agents need problems sorted quickly, with as little disruption to tenants as possible. Because we also handle drains, clearances and maintenance, we can deal with the cause of a pest problem as well as the pests themselves.
Who is responsible?
Responsibility depends on the cause. As a general guide, landlords are usually responsible where pests get in because of disrepair, such as broken drains or gaps in the building, while tenants may be responsible where an infestation is caused by how the property is used. Under the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018, rented homes in England must be free of hazards, which can include pest infestations. We give you a clear report of what we found, which helps settle the question.
What we do for landlords
- Pest treatment and proofing, including bed bugs in HMOs
- Drain surveys and no-dig repairs where rats are getting in
- Void property checks, clearances and cleans between tenancies
- Repairs and general maintenance across your portfolio
- Garden clearance and regular garden maintenance
Our sister company, Premier Property Management (opens in a new tab), handles lettings, sales and property management from the same Swan Street office.
