Flights abroad cancelled...….. why not Airbnb locally?

If you’re thinking about it, make sure the holiday home you choose is up to scratch with compliance and safety.

Those who rent their property out on Airbnb or similar sites are classified as landlords by the law.

Because of this, you must make sure your accommodation is up to the correct standard and has up-to-date certificates in all relevant areas of safety when booking.

Mid-term reports help the Landlord to get a understanding of how the tenants are looking after the property. It is also a way for the tenants to bring up any concerns or issues that may be of importance to the landlord or safety within the property.

At Verismart we are trained in identifying HHSRS hazards that we can point out while we are doing a mid-term inspection at no extra cost.

Saving the tenants from hazards and landlords from legal fees.

As letting agents you might not have the time to handle these mid-terms so hand it over to a reliable company.

This landlord took his Carbon Monoxide alarms seriously.

3 alarms around the boiler 😄🥹☺️😝.

I was proud to say that all 3 alarms worked when push button and gas tested. Well done to you Sir!

☀️ THE HEAT WAVE IS HERE!☀️
As temperatures rise this week, firefighters are urging people to remain vigilant to the risks of fire while they enjoy the sunshine.
During hot and dry weather, fires are more likely to occur. Last year, the Brigade was called to 2,430 grass fires, with 902 occurring in the summer months (June – August). 🔥
On 14 June 2017, a high-rise fire broke out in the 24-storey Grenfell Tower block of flats in North Kensington, West London. 72 people died, including two who later died in hospital, with more than 70 others being injured and 223 people escaping.
The fire was started by an electrical fault in a refrigerator on the fourth floor. It spread rapidly up the building's exterior, bringing fire and smoke to all the residential floors. This was due to the building's new cladding and the external insulation, since the air gap between them enabled the stack effect.
CHILL OUT!
When the weather’s this nice, why not leave the inspections to us
while you enjoy the sunshine!

HHSRS

The ‘Housing Health and Safety Rating System’ is a risk-based evaluation tool to help local authorities identify potential risks and hazards to health and safety within dwellings.

Using our Verismart HHSRS App, our property inspectors are able to deliver reports outlining any concerns they may have seen at the property. You will be notified of risks seen with information on the legislation and required action.

For detailed information on the law and your responsibilities towards HHSRS and how Verismart can help you stay compliant, visit www.verismart.co.uk or email [email protected].
