Property Checklist

At Assured Rent UK we ensure all properties managed are at a high standard. We have created this checklist that we require fulfilled before letting out a property to tenants.

If properties do not meet this standard then we arrange for this to be reached.

Please ensure the following is in place:

• The property is in a good state of repair.
• The kitchen has a fire door with a closer.
• There is a fire blanket, fire extinguisher and carbon monoxide detector in the property.
• Mains powered smoke alarm on each floor.
• The bathroom has a lock which can be opened from the outside.
• Each room has its own door, a view outdoors and natural ventilation.
• Kitchens and bathrooms have enclosed light fittings.
• Plumbing for the boiler is covered away.
• Each room has at least two dual sockets.
• Windows are fitted with a child lock or latch.
• Garden is in a clean state with no overgrowth.

Please ensure you do not:

• Have any exposed glass below waist height.
• Have gaps in staircase rails that could risk child safety.
• Have any electrical sockets in skirting boards.
• Have any trip hazards anywhere in the property.
• Have any blocked guttering.
• Leave any rubbish or building waste anywhere on the premises.
• Forget to have door numbers displayed and a working doorbell.
• Forget to supply all keys for windows and letter boxes (if applicable).
