What Is A Landlord Property Health Check?
A Landlord Property Health Check is an independent inspection of a property’s condition focusing on issues that commonly lead to tenant complaints, maintenance costs and property deterioration.
Unlike a general property visit, our inspections focus on identifying:
- Damp and moisture problems
- Mould growth and condensation
- Ventilation issues
- Defective building elements
- Water ingress
- Insulation deficiencies
- Thermal bridging
- Fire safety concerns
- General maintenance defects
The aim is to identify issues early and provide practical recommendations before repairs become significantly more expensive.
Damp, Mould & Condensation Assessments
Damp and mould complaints continue to increase throughout the UK and can quickly become costly if left unresolved.
During our inspection we assess:
- External defects allowing water ingress
- High external ground levels
- Bridged damp proof courses
- Condensation risks
- Ventilation provision
- Moisture meter readings
- Internal signs of dampness
- Mould growth
- Bathroom and kitchen extraction
- Cold spots and thermal bridging
We focus on identifying the likely cause rather than simply recording symptoms.
Thermal Imaging Surveys
Optional thermal imaging inspections help identify hidden defects not always visible during a standard inspection.
Thermal imaging can help identify:
- Heat loss
- Missing insulation
- Thermal bridges
- Cold spots
- Areas at risk of condensation
- Potential moisture intrusion
Thermal imaging provides valuable supporting evidence and can often help explain recurring mould and condensation problems.
Fire Safety Inspections
Landlords have a legal responsibility to provide safe accommodation for tenants.
Our fire safety inspections include visual assessment of:
- Smoke alarms
- Heat alarms
- Carbon monoxide alarms
- Escape routes
- Fire doors where fitted
- Self-closing devices
- Fire separation between garages and living accommodation
- General fire safety concerns
Recommendations are provided where improvements may be required.
