The only figure landlords want to see each month is the full rental income figure in their bank account, without any unplanned deductions if possible, but unfortunately this is not always the case as many of today's property related maintenance costs are soaring.
One of the biggest areas we have worked hard on at Everything Lettings is to keep costs down for unplanned property maintenance, our clients and direct landlords have told us that unplanned maintenance costs are the third biggest annual expenditure, after rent/mortgage payments and insurance.
We are not able to prevent unplanned maintenance costs, but we have certainly helped control them for over 16,000 of our clients and direct landlords. Rather than spiralling and uncertain bills, we offer fixed-price maintenance cover, for both in and out of hours. Many of our experienced clients and landlords are paying as little as £5.75 a month, per property for our Emergency Cover Premium product. A perfect solution to budget accurately, with no nasty surprise invoices.
Clients choosing the Everything Lettings Out of Hours cover or Emergency Premium package benefit from:
Out Of Hours ,Everything Lettings nationwide contractors on call from 5:30 to 9am Monday to Friday - Weekends and bank holidays
Premium Package ,Everything Lettings nationwide contractors on call 24/7 - Including weekends and bank holidays
On Out Of Hours cover trained call handlers will determine if the situation is a true emergency and then only dispatch a tradesperson out-of-hours if there is a genuine need, keeping paid works at an essential-only level
Premium Package product, will cover any genuine emergency up to £500 per claim and unlimited claims per year - giving genuine peace of mind
Roy Fuller, owner of Everything Lettings, says that out of hours cover and a fixed-price premium product is a vital service in an economic climate of rising costs: "The last five years have seen running costs outpace inflation. Maintenance and repairs, as well as the goods and services associated with property maintenance, have both risen around 19% since 2008. Translated that means a plumber whose call-out charge used to be £100 is now almost £120, and the new central heating pump he needs to fit is now £95 instead of £80. When you're managing 1 or multiple properties these costs add up. We also offer a number of fixed-price options on landlords legal requirements, like gas safety Inspections and gas safety and combined boiler servicing, Pat testing and electrical wiring reports which also helps with budgeting. Knowing how much property maintenance will cost is essential, as it will be the agents/property managers who can offer landlords competitive maintenance packages and retain more of the monthly income who will win those valuable new instructions."
