Tips for Property Maintenance

Your home needs maintaining in the normal way, and this general advice may be useful when read together with your Home Buyer report. Problems in construction may develop slowly over time. If you are concerned contact a chartered surveyor for further advice.

Outside of the property

You should check the condition of your property at least once a year, and also after unusual storms. Your routine re-decoration of the outside of the property will also give you an opportunity to closely examine the building.

Main walls:

Check main walls for cracks and any uneven bulging. Maintain the joints in brickwork and repair loose or broken rendering. Re-paint decorated walls regularly. Cut back or remove any plants that are harmful to mortar and render. Keep the soil level well below the level of any damp proof course (150mm minimum recommended) and make sure any ventilation bricks are kept clear. Check over cladding for broken, rotted or damaged areas that need repairing.

Windows & doors:

Once a year check all frames for signs of rot in wood frames, for any splits in plastic or metal frames, and for rusting to latches and hinges and metal frames. Maintain all decorated frames by repairing or re-decorating at the first sign of any deterioration. In autumn check double glazing for condensation between the glazing, as this is a sign of a faulty unit. Have broken or cracked glass replaced by a qualified tradesman. Check for broken sash cords on sliding sash windows, and sills and window boards for any damage.
