Job list for repairs and renovations to Property number 3

Now that we have the keys to property number 3, we have been able to get in and have a good look and there is some excellent news regarding the damp that was mentioned on the home report. We had provisionally arranged to hire a dehumidifier to help dry the property out, but when we managed to have a good look at the property, we found the damp and holes in the plaster in the kitchen had been caused by a burst pipe during the time the home was unoccupied in the winter.

The suspected damp in that bathroom was due to a mixture of condensation caused by the extractor fan not working and also water leaking from a faulty seal at the bottom of the shower glass. These were all inexpensive things to fix, which was great since we thought we might of had to install a chemical damp proof course instead.

We have now managed to create a list of all the jobs we need our team from Local Carpentry to do in order to get the property ready for rental:
