That’s why we’ll do a full property health check and ensure our core principles and standards in relation to safety, compliance, security, and cleanliness are covered as well as ensuring everything is in full working order before you move in.
This is our Home Quality Promise to you.
As part of our health check, we do a thorough inspection of the home and conduct the following work to ensure everything is in full working order before you move in.
Safety and security are our top priorities at Places for People, that’s why we will carry out the relevant electrical and gas safety checks to ensure your new home is compliant and you will be provided with the certificates.
You are free to decorate your home to your own personal tastes and when you move into your home you can expect your home to be in a clean and decorative condition, so you don't need to do anything immediately.
All units, worktops, drawers, and sinks will be safe, clean, and will all be in good working order. In addition, there will be space for a cooker, connected to either an electrical or gas supply.
Your bathroom suite will be clean, matching and in good working order.
Will be cleared of rubbish and any garden shrubs, grass or hedges will be cut back to be left in a manageable condition. We’ll remove any garden sheds or other structures that are in poor condition, and we’ll repair any fencing that falls under our responsibility if it poses a health and safety risk.
We will ensure the external elements of your home are inspected, roofs will be watertight and free from defects, and gutter/drainage services will be free-flowing and where appropriate fitted with suitable covers.
Your lounge will have suitable flooring, and all rooms within the property where possible will be separated via a door. Any stairs and handrail will be checked to ensure they are safe and secure.
External doors will open and close freely, be safe, and secure, and have a working lock mechanism. They’ll also be wind and weather tight. Internal doors and frames will be in working order.
All broken or failed glass will be replaced.
We are committed to our Home Quality Promise, which is why we want our Customers to see the standards they can expect in their homes.
