Order 17880

Order 17880 I am extremely disappointed with the service. 1) The inspector did not show up for the scheduled appointment. 2) Nobody bothered to call me to inform me that the inspector would not come, and I had taken a day off from work specifically for this appointment. 3) I called customer service four times to reschedule, and every single time, I was told that someone would call me back. Unfortunately, nobody ever did. 4) They charged me for a service that was never performed, and it looks like they are having serious difficulties actually delivering what they promise. The level of unprofessionalism is absolutely shocking. I have not seen such blatant disregard and ignorance towards a customer in a very long time. I have wasted my time, money, and energy dealing with a company that clearly does not care about its customers. Avoid this service at all costs!

Safety Certificates for Landlords in Hammersmith & Fulham

In Hammersmith & Fulham, landlords have a vital responsibility to ensure their rental properties meet the necessary safety standards and legal requirements. Properly managing these responsibilities is essential for protecting tenants, maintaining property value, and complying with local regulations. Below is an overview of the key obligations that landlords in Hammersmith & Fulham must adhere to:

  1. Fire Safety Compliance: Adherence to fire safety regulations is crucial. Landlords are required to install smoke alarms on every floor, provide carbon monoxide detectors in rooms with solid fuel-burning appliances, and carry out regular Fire Risk Assessments, especially in buildings with multiple occupants. Clear and accessible escape routes must be maintained, and tenants should be informed about fire safety procedures.

  2. Electrical Safety: Landlords must ensure that the electrical installations in their properties are safe. This requires obtaining an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) to certify that the electrical systems are in proper working order. The report should be renewed every five years or when a new tenancy begins, and a copy provided to the tenant.

  3. Gas Safety: All gas appliances, fittings, and flues in rental properties must be inspected annually by a registered Gas Safe engineer. After the inspection, landlords must obtain a Gas Safety Certificate and provide a copy to tenants within 28 days of the check or at the start of a new tenancy. This ensures the safety and proper functioning of the gas systems.

  4. Energy Performance Certificate (EPC): Before renting out a property, landlords are legally required to provide an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to tenants. The EPC, which rates the energy efficiency of the property, is valid for ten years. Properties must have an EPC rating of at least E to meet legal requirements.

  5. Asbestos Management: For properties built before 2000, landlords are required to conduct an Asbestos Management Survey. This survey identifies any asbestos-containing materials and provides guidelines on how to manage them safely, protecting tenants and anyone working on the property from potential exposure.

  6. Property Maintenance and Repairs: Landlords must keep their properties in good repair, including the structure, exterior, and essential services such as heating, plumbing, and electrical systems. Prompt attention to maintenance issues and repairs reported by tenants is necessary to ensure that the property remains safe and habitable.

  7. Tenant Rights and Responsibilities: A clear and comprehensive written tenancy agreement is essential. This agreement should outline the terms of the tenancy, including rent, notice periods, and the responsibilities of both the landlord and tenant regarding property maintenance. Landlords must also protect tenant deposits in a government-approved deposit protection scheme.

Landlords Checks is dedicated to assisting landlords in fulfilling their legal obligations and maintaining high standards within the borough. By meeting these responsibilities, landlords help ensure the safety, comfort, and satisfaction of their tenants, contributing to a thriving rental market in Hammersmith & Fulham.
