Supporting landlords
The number of UK households living in rented property has doubled in the last ten years, with increasing house prices and slow wage growth making it harder for people to get on the housing ladder. Approximately 5 million households are currently living in private rented accommodation, which equates to 21% of the total, with this number expected to rise to 5.8 million in the next five years, according to estate agency Knight Frank.
Many homeowners have also become so-called “accidental landlords” – forced to rent out their existing property to cover mortgage repayments so that they can afford to make their next move. Whether you’re a seasoned landlord or new to property rentals, it’s important to have access to a reliable electrician who can carry out the necessary checks before you purchase a new property or make an existing property available for rental.
We provide our full range of electrical contracting services to homeowners throughout London and Surrey and often work with property landlords and estate agents as well, the services include:
You can never be sure when an electrical fault or breakdown is going to occur. That’s why we’re often approached in the initial stages to do a free visual check of a property and highlight any problems that may be evident. As many prospective landlords discover, some homes may not be as good an investment as they initially seem. Our free visual check can therefore be key to them making the right decision.
