The Landlord is responsible for the structural maintenance and repair of the property including drainage, plumbing and heating systems. It is the Tenant’s responsibility to maintain the interior of the property to a standard and condition comparable to the start of the Tenancy, allowing for fair wear and tear.  Over a long period the property will inevitably suffer some deterioration and require decorating, which is the responsibility of the Landlord. 

In the event of any minor maintenance or replacements being necessary for which the Landlord is liable, and in emergencies, we will automatically deal with these as per your initial instructions.  For larger works estimates will be submitted to you for your approval. In these cases we would instruct Tradesmen to carry out any works necessary on your behalf.  If you wish Tattersalls to use specific Tradesmen we would be obliged if you would let us have their details in writing, they must however have adequate insurance. There are no arrangement fees

Tattersalls would advise that you take out service contracts on gas boilers etc. Copies of these contracts should be supplied to Tattersalls.

Under the gas safety (installation & use) regulations 1994, all gas appliances must be serviced annually by a CORGI registered plumber, who will also have to provide a Landlord’s Gas Safety Certificate.  Tattersalls reserve the right to have these checks carried out on your behalf.

Smoke detectors should be fitted and if the wiring has not been checked recently, a qualified electrician should inspect this prior to the property being let. All electrical work must be carried out by certified electricians

Should the Tenant wish to decorate or improve the property permission will be sought from the Landlord.  Whether the request is granted or denied written confirmation will be sent by Tattersalls
