Being a landlord in London is rewarding, but it also brings legal duties and high tenant expectations. Reactive, one-off callouts are stressful and unpredictable; a planned maintenance contract turns property care into a structured, cost-controlled service. Here’s why more landlords and estate agents choose CS Property Services to manage planned maintenance across their portfolios.
What is a planned maintenance contract?
A planned maintenance contract is a scheduled programme of inspections and works designed to prevent issues before they escalate. Instead of waiting for a leak, boiler failure or electrical fault, essential checks and routine tasks are booked in advance, with guaranteed response times for any emergencies.
The business case for landlords
Predictable costs
Budget with confidence through fixed pricing and agreed service levels. You avoid inflated emergency rates and spread routine costs across the year, improving cash flow and forecasting.
Faster response
Landlords on contract receive priority callouts, defined SLAs and a single point of contact. That means quicker fixes, less downtime and fewer anxious calls from tenants.
Happier tenants, fewer voids
Well-maintained homes are safer, warmer and more reliable. Satisfied tenants renew more often and cause fewer disputes, helping protect rental income and reduce re-letting costs.
Compliance built in
Stay on the right side of UK regulations without chasing dates. Contracts can include annual gas safety certificates (CP12), electrical inspections (EICR), smoke and CO alarm testing, and documented records for your files and agents.
What’s included?
CS Property Services tailors each plan to your property type and tenancy, typically covering:
- Plumbing and drainage repairs
- Boiler servicing and full heating maintenance
- Electrical testing, remedials and safety upgrades
