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 Harrow

In Harrow, landlords are required to uphold a high standard of safety and maintenance for their rental properties, ensuring full compliance with legal obligations. Proper management of these responsibilities is essential for protecting tenants, safeguarding your property, and avoiding potential legal repercussions. Below is an outline of the key responsibilities that landlords in Harrow must fulfill:

  1. Fire Safety Compliance: Compliance with fire safety regulations is a crucial responsibility. Landlords must install smoke alarms on every floor, provide carbon monoxide detectors in rooms with solid fuel-burning appliances, and conduct regular Fire Risk Assessments, particularly in properties with multiple occupants. It is also vital to maintain clear escape routes and provide tenants with information on fire safety procedures.

  2. Electrical Safety: Landlords must ensure that the electrical installations within their properties are safe. This involves obtaining an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) to confirm that electrical systems are in good working order. The EICR should be updated every five years or when a new tenancy begins, and a copy must be 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. Following the inspection, landlords are required to 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 gas systems.

  4. Energy Performance Certificate (EPC): Landlords must provide an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to tenants before letting a property. The EPC, which rates the energy efficiency of the property, is valid for ten years. To meet legal requirements, the property must achieve at least an E rating.

  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, reducing the risk of exposure to tenants and maintenance workers.

  6. Property Maintenance and Repairs: Landlords have a legal duty to maintain their properties in good condition, 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 critical to ensuring the property remains safe and habitable.

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

Landlords Checks is dedicated to supporting landlords in fulfilling their legal responsibilities and maintaining high standards across the borough. By adhering to these duties, landlords contribute to a safe and positive living environment for their tenants, ensuring a successful rental experience in Harrow.
