These inspections are important because they allow us to keep in touch with you and be made aware of any issues that you may be having at the property. They are also vital to us in maintaining the condition of the property.

These regular inspections will allow us to identify any potential health and safety issues and to be clear about any changes to your living conditions.

You will be advised of these inspections in advance apart from in exceptional circumstances.

Please make sure that you ask for identification before allowing anyone to enter the property. All of our inspection officers carry ID and will be more than happy to show it to you.
