Maintenance guide

Small repairs to finish before renting out a house

Before renting, fix electrical safety, leaks, doors, paint touch-ups and drainage so tenants do not call every week.

Small repairs to finish before renting out a house
Safety note

This guide is for first checks only. If there is shock, sparks, burning smell, active leakage near wiring, unstable structure or anything you are unsure about, stop and call a qualified professional.

A tidy maintenance round before handover protects your property and makes the rental feel more professional.

What you can check safely

  1. Test lights, fans, sockets and MCB operation.
  2. Check taps, flush tanks, sink traps and bathroom drains.
  3. Repair door locks, hinges and wardrobe shutters.
  4. Touch up stained walls after fixing damp sources.
  5. Share a snag list with one maintenance team.

What not to do

  • Do not hand over with known leaks.
  • Do not ignore loose sockets or burnt switches.
  • Do not paint over damp patches just before inspection.
