A rental property is provided as a home for tenants and must be fit for human habitation (FFHH) throughout the tenancy. As the weather changes, it’s vital for agents to stay on top of property maintenance and make sure issues are put right for their tenants as soon as possible.
The Scottish Government has published the Housing (Cladding Remediation) (Scotland) Bill, which gives it new powers to assess and remediate buildings with dangerous cladding. Their aim is to address the risk to life which is created or made worse by external cladding systems and to reduce the subsequent issues with buying, selling and re-mortgaging properties which have been affected.
School closures made headlines over the summer of 2023, but these are not the only buildings that could be affected by structural issues because of old or badly maintained materials. Property agents need to understand key facts relating to domestic and commercial buildings, especially those who deal with leaseholds.
Concern amongst landlords and property managers has risen and the need to identify effective strategies to combat these elusive intruders has increased.
Please note that Propertymark will be closed on Friday 8 December for training purposes. This includes the ARLA Propertymark Lettings Helpline.
