MandatoryElectical Safety Checks for all private rented properties

The Government has announced they will introduce a mandatory requirement for landlords in the private rented sector to ensure electrical installations are inspected every five years. This is part of plans to drive up standards across the PRS and reduce deaths, injuries and fires caused by electrical faults.

While NALS fully supports the introduction of these checks to keep tenants safe, this is another measure from Government that will need to be enforced to be effective. We look forward to seeing more detail on the plans. You can read the full announcement from Secretary of State for Communities, Rt Hon James Brokenshire MP.

As many of you will know Martin & Co predicted this move and has been working with landlords to roll-out electrical safety across our managed portfolio.

One of the main benefits to hiring an estate agent in London is that they are often licensed to sell residential properties in the Docklands. Source to know more about fisks london.

Planning ahead can help the agent land more exclusive clients and he should always be thinking about how he can increase footfall into his office. Estate Agents in London are also well versed with the local laws and regulations regarding buying and selling property. To know more about property valuation, check this site.

Thank you for visiting this blog about the Property Market in Oxford. Both of us (Bill and Richard) and our excellent colleagues, run and manage the Martin and Co office in Oxford.

We have always shared our thoughts on the local property market in Oxford with our landlords and homeowners, but now we want to share that relevant and interesting information with everyone in the City.

In this blog, we will talk about what is happening in the city’s property market itself, even looking at specific streets or housing estates. At other times, we will post what we consider decent buy to let deals.

Some will be on the market with ourselves (as we also sell property), but others will be on the market with other agents in Oxford, as we like to look at the whole of market and give you, what we consider the best investment opportunities in Oxford (irrespective of which agent is seeing the property)

If you see a potential deal, and want a second opinion, without hesitation, email the Rightmove link to bill.cooper@martinco.com or richard.goodwin@martinco.com

Alternatively, drop into our office on Woodin's Way (Paradise Street) or give either of us a call on 01865 812110

We will always give you our honest opinion on the property and its investment potential. (both good and bad).

Bill and Richard
