In short: Regular inspections, typically every three to six months, help landlords spot damp, mould, leaks, safety issues and tenant damage early, before they become costly or a risk to health. Landlords must keep homes free from serious hazards and fix reported problems promptly, and new rules are extending strict timescales for damp and mould. Give at least 24 hours' written notice, inspect at a reasonable time, and keep a dated photo record. Fraser Bond carries out regular inspections for managed properties.
