Here you will find information about your responsibilities in terms of the general maintenance of the property. We want you to be safe and comfortable in your home, so we need you to report any issues that arise so that we can deal with them quickly and effectively.

In addition, we will contact you at the appropriate time to arrange access for required safety inspections to be carried out (e.g. Gas, Electrical, Water System – Legionella Risk Assessment as appropriate to your property) – we appreciate your cooperation with these important safety processes.
