Essential Property Maintenance Tips Every Landlord and Tenant Should Know - Ep. 8.
Welcome back to The All Things Property Podcast! In this episode, Simon Bacon and Ian Sadler dive into the top 10 maintenance issues landlords and tenants face in rental properties and, most importantly, how to fix and prevent them.
From the all-too-familiar battle with damp and mould, dealt with using practical ventilation and dehumidifier tips, to unblocking drains, tackling infuriating boiler troubles, managing garden upkeep and handling pest invasions, this conversation is packed with real, actionable advice.
As always, the focus is on open communication, local expertise, and honest, relationship-driven service, not just box-ticking or generic advice.
Whether you’re a DIY landlord feeling overwhelmed, a property investor protecting your portfolio or a tenant trying to look after your first home, All Things Property is here with practical insights and stories from the front lines.
Stay tuned to learn how staying proactive with property maintenance can save you money, time, and stress.
