Our management service includes the investigation of defects, which may come to our notice, or any defect that is properly brought to our attention by the tenant. Works costing up to £250 for any one item will be dealt with as they arise by our property manager through Countrywide Property Maintenance without confirmation from the landlord. (The agent cannot be held liable for any defects that are not noticed on inspection).

The liability for payment of council tax will be the responsibility of the tenant.

The property rental will be offered exclusive of other charges. The tenant will be liable to pay these charges. We will write to the appropriate authorities informing them of a change in occupier when the tenancy starts.

An important part of our service will be to inspect the premises at regular intervals to maintain that the property maintains in good condition. (The meaning regular will be at the agents discretion).

The agent will hold on deposit the sum equal to one months rent from the tenant should damages or arrears occur. The deposit will be returned to the tenant following a satisfactory final inspection. Rent arrears from the deposit can only be used at the end of the tenancy (within 28 days subject to the agents discretion).

Should it be necessary to use Legal Action then the landlord will be responsible for instructing the use of a solicitor. The agent cannot be held responsible or liable for any costs, damages or arrears.
