Welcome back, dear listeners, to another exciting episode of Your Letting's Journey! ☕

In today's episode, we embark on an enlightening journey through the intricacies of managing tenant notices and deciphering the ever-evolving world of EPC regulations. Join me and Rachel as we shed light on these crucial aspects of property management. 🕵️‍♀️🏡

🔐 Unlocking the Secrets:
We kick off by demystifying the confusion surrounding recent U-turns on EPCs and boiler replacement schemes. Together, we'll navigate the transition process when a tenant decides to move on. Get ready for some golden tips on examining the tenancy agreement and determining if your tenant has outgrown your property. 🗂️🔍

💥 Avoiding Disputes:
Avoiding disputes at the end of tenancies is an art, and we've got the palette! From the importance of inventories to evaluating the property's condition, we provide invaluable insights that will save you from unnecessary confrontations. Brace yourself for the contentious issue of cleaning costs at the end of a tenancy – we even debate whether it's worth pursuing! 💸🧹

🛠️ Property Turnover & Maintenance:
We dive deep into the world of property turnover and maintenance, discussing strategies for managing viewings, the art of delaying new contracts until the old tenant vacates, and considerations for property upgrades. Learn how to conduct pre-exit inspections and align tenant expectations for a smooth transition. 🏗️🏠

🎨 Property Presentation:
Presentation matters! We explore the differences between block viewings and open viewings and why it's vital to plan for prospective tenants arriving late. Discover the power of getting to know your potential tenants and why the existing tenant can be a goldmine of information. Plus, we emphasize the importance of how your property is presented online. 🌟💻

📝 Inspections & Expectations:
From pre-exit inspections to in-depth discussions on tenancy agreements, we cover it all. Tenants need to understand the rules set out in the agreement, from repairs to damage and everything in between. We even tackle the challenge of matching paint colours and why it's essential to remove unauthorized shelves or nails. 🧰🎨
