In a post-COVID landscape where everyone is clamouring for a semblance of normality, landlords asking for three maintenance quotes can significantly slow down the repair process. This not only causes delays in resolving pressing issues but also strains the crucial relationship between landlords and tenants.

Imagine your hot water service breaks down in the dead of winter. Now, instead of having it repaired within a day or two, we might wait a week or longer if a landlord requires three quotes. This not only leaves tenants inconvenienced but also creates an air of mistrust. 

Of course, we understand the need for fiscal responsibility, especially during a cost-of-living crisis. However, there's a fine line between saving pennies and damaging relations when tradespeople are often in short supply, as is often the case right now. In the long term, prioritising quick and efficient repairs can lead to happier tenants, fewer vacancies, and a stronger sense of community with tradespeople that we need to rely upon for urgent repairs.

Sometimes, a swift resolution is worth more than a small saving and we’ve built string relations with your area’s best, most reasonable tradespeople. So, we ask all of our landlords to work with us on strengthening relations by trusting us with our trusted networks.
