The Importance of Routine Maintenance

The Importance of Routine Maintenance

Buildings progressively deteriorate over time and will continue to deteriorate if maintenance is not carried out. It is imperative that we keep on top of regular routine maintenance to maximise your potential returns and keep your property highly tenantable and saleable.

Regular Planned Maintenance

Regular planned maintenance, such as minor repairs and preventative maintenance, should minimise future problems and ensure your property remains in peak condition.

While unexpected deterioration, damage or failures may still occur, and even with the best maintenance in the world, everything has a limited life expectancy, with a regular maintenance cycle you will minimise the need for major refurbishment and repairs.

Avoid Unnecessary Major Repairs

Without regular maintenance a property can quickly deteriorate to an unacceptable condition, necessitating major repairs that could have been avoided. If left long enough a property can deteriorate to the point of being unusable which can translate to lose of income for you.

In General

We monitor the need for repairs very closely and act on all necessary repairs according to your instructions in the Property Management Authority.

However, should a repair of an urgent nature be reported, we need to attend to this as soon as possible if it’s considered an essential service or of a safety concern.

Payment of Repairs

Repairs carried out to your property are paid for from rent monies held in our Bank Account on your behalf. Full details of these repairs are printed on your Monthly Statement of Accounts; and copies of Invoices are available upon request.

Other Payments

As a service to you, we can pay all statutory accounts on your behalf. These could include water rates, Body Corporate levies and Insurances. These rates and levies will appear on your final account, with Invoices and insures easy accounting at the end of the financial year for your accountant.
