Rental Property MOT Services

It is recommended to book a Rental MOT annually or whenever there is a change in tenancy. Regular inspections help maintain compliance and address any potential issues early on.

The length of the inspection will depend on the size and condition of your property, but most inspections can be completed within a few hours. A detailed report is provided shortly after the inspection.

If any compliance issues or potential risks are identified during the inspection, you will be provided with a detailed report and recommendations for the necessary repairs or updates. We can help guide you through the next steps to resolve these issues.
