From our Norwich Property Manager, Tracy Goodall
Landlords always ask me:
“What are the benefits of a fully managed service with an experienced Property Manager Looking after my property?”
The benefits are significant!
As a Property Manager, I build a relationship with both the Landlord and the tenant. This relationship recently proved very beneficial for one of the properties in my portfolio.
The tenant reported an issue with condensation mould on a lounge wall under the front window, plus water damage coming into the front bedroom at the roof line. They were worried about the cause as they followed our guidelines for winter-proofing their home.
After a visit to the property, I discovered cracks in the outer front wall near the lounge window and noticed some greening of the brickwork, a movement in the tiles and flashing at the roof line.
After inspecting the property, I discovered that there was watermarking in the front bedroom and rotten floorboards and joists to the lounge, under the window and wall where the mould was. There were no other issues with condensation mould in the property as the tenant kept rooms heated and ventilated.
I reported back to the landlord and advised that a defect report be carried out to determine the cause of the cracks etc. and advised them to speak with their insurance company in case this was an issue with subsidence. I arranged the defect report along with a report and photographs for the insurance company.
As a property manager, I have helped the landlord, the tenant, and liaised with the surveyor and loss adjuster to assist with the quick resolution of the matter.
