Whether you’re letting a single family home, a handful of apartments across London, or multiple HMOs as part of an investment portfolio, property compliance and upkeep requirements never stop. While regular property maintenance can help identify and address small issues before they become a major headache, a mid-year property health inspection gives you the chance to take a closer look at your property and compliance requirements, and strengthen your legal position.
Assure Move helps London landlords enjoy more of the benefits of property ownership by taking on its demands. Our experienced property management team performs thorough mid-year health checks, not just ticking boxes on a list to get the job done, but speaking to the tenants and performing our own series of tests. With clear and accurate reporting alongside expert guidance on moving forward, trust Assure Move to keep you informed of what’s really happening at your property.

Why mid-year property health checks matter
While gas and electrical safety inspections are non-negotiable, responsible landlords typically perform a mid-year or mid-contract inspection to ensure that their property is healthy and that they are legally protected in the event of a deposit or other dispute.
Thorough property inspections benefit not only the landlord, but should be considered a win-win for all involved:
The landlord gets:
- Early detection of maintenance issues before they become expensive repairs.
- Up-to-date records for compliance and legal protection in the event of tenant disputes.
- High property values, which could translate to higher rent in the future.
- Fewer emergency callouts and repairs.
- A better relationship with tenants who feel that their landlord cares about their well-being, reducing tenant turnover and void periods.
The tenants get:
- A safer and more comfortable living environment.
- The assurance that their concerns or complaints are taken seriously and that action is taken.
- Peace of mind that future complaints will be taken care of.
- A landlord who invests in their well-being.
