This leaves you enough time to solicit several offers for major renovations and you can define the financing. This will prevent the house of your dreams from turning into a patchwork that would diminish its value. With proper planning and cost allocation over several years, you can further deduct maintenance costs from your taxes. Choosing the Property Maintenance Services Cheltenham is important there.

Establish a maintenance plan
You can sometimes delay major repairs, by checking, cleaning and maintaining the various elements of the building on a regular basis. In order not to forget anything, it is in your interest to establish a maintenance plan with the work to be done. Some work being seasonal, you can possibly ask craftsmen or gardeners to carry it out. Some of the regular obligations of homeowners include, for example:

Regular inspection and maintenance of the roof prevents water damage

• clean the gutters
• check the condition of the roof
• check the silicone gaskets in the bathroom and the kitchen and renew them if necessary, risk of mold!
• check the building envelope for leaks
• carry out a fall check
• replace ventilation air filters
• maintain wood floors and window frames
• clean the pipes

Life Criterion
Correct maintenance significantly extends the life of the various building elements. However, sooner or later the heating , roof, facade or floor must be replaced. To find out which investments are waiting for you when as an owner, you can use a table of lifespans. For example, you will find a very detailed table here. In the case of new construction, the first major maintenance work is necessary after ten years; a complete renovation should take place after twenty to thirty years.

The operation of the heating should be checked before the cold arrives

If you are taking over an existing building, find out about the age of the various elements from the previous owners. If you don't want to take any risks, you can use the building condition analysis tool. It is in your best interest to contact an expert. Many architectural firms offer this service and can provide you with a professional assessment. As part of a value preservation plan, you then jointly determine the date on which the various renovations will be required. This makes budgeting easier and you can plan for long-term financing by building up reserves.

Obligation to maintain the property by floor
As in many areas, maintenance is also paid for separately in a community of co-owners. Each owner is himself responsible for the maintenance of the premises of which he holds exclusive ownership.
