_________________________________________________________
What type of property are you looking
for?
We are looking for houses and flats in good condition. They could
be individual units or in a block. We may not be able to take flats
if they are located over certain shops or if they have poor rear
access.
Which safety certificates do I need to
supply?
You need to supply a gas safety certificate (usually described as a
CP12) for the gas installation and appliances and an electrical
safety certificate (known as a NICEIC certificate). Both
certificates must record the installation as safe and satisfactory
and show that no works are required. You will also need to provide
an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
What furniture and fittings do I need to
supply?
You will need to supply curtains and nets or a blind to all
windows, a cooker and fridge freezer, carpets or another suitable
floor covering throughout with vinyl in kitchens and bathrooms.
Additional furniture may be required for some schemes. Please see
our landlord property
standards booklet (pdf, 1.75Mb) for more
information.
How will my rent be paid?
Rent is paid by BACS, which is a payment direct from our bank
account to your bank account. Rents are paid monthly and once
payments are set up they will be made into your bank account at the
end of every month.
Will my lease be renewed at the end of the
term?
Provided the borough still require properties and your property has
no major defects we will want to renew the lease. We will contact
you approximately nine months before the lease end to start
discussions.
What happens if the tenant damages my
property?
Pathmeads manages the property during the term of the lease and
deals with any disrepair caused by our tenant. At the end of the
lease, the property will be handed back to you and compensation
agreed between us for any damage caused by our tenant. We do not
redecorate or refurnish at the end of the lease.
How can I gain access to my
property?
Landlords should not contact tenants directly. Landlords must give
14 days' written notice to Pathmeads, we will then make an
appointment with the tenant and arrange for access.
