One in four tenants left waiting for repairs

One in four tenants have been forced to wait at least a week for repairs such as fixing a broken boiler or blocked pipe to be completed.

This is according to new research from HomeServe, which found a third of renters have faced a home emergency at some point during the past 12 months.

Central heating faults are the most common problem, accounting for 15 per cent of incidents, followed by broken boilers (14 per cent), blocked sinks (13 per cent) and leaking taps (seven per cent).

Some 23 per cent of tenants said they have had to wait for more than a week for issues such as this to be solved. In light of this, HomeServe estimated there are 250,000 tenants who have withheld their rent and arranged for repairs to be carried out themselves.

Applegate’s figures however are somewhat different to the above findings, due to our efficient customer service and computer system. All incoming complaints are instantly entered on to our database and monitored throughout the process to ensure that the issue has been resolved and the tenant updated on the progress.

Letting agents urged to join Ombudsman Services

Letting agents have been urged to offer an improved standard of customer service for people that wish to rent and let homes. In order to maintain standards, it is recommended that they become members of the Ombudsman Services.

We are pleased to say that Applegate are members of the Property Ombudsman Service and have been for a number of years. We feel that it is our obligation to provide excellent customer service and by being a member it aids us with maintaining our already excellent services.

The Ombudsman Services, which handles complaints about the energy, communications, property and copyright licensing sectors, has called for a review of the buy-to-let sector.

Chief Ombudsman Lewis Shand Smith commented that tenants “deserve high quality standards” and so he encouraged agencies that are members of the National Approved Letting Scheme (NALS) to join Ombudsman Services.

NALS is an independent licensing scheme that is designed to help raise standards in the private rented sector.

Mr Shand Smith said: “NALS licensed agents which join our scheme … will be making a clear statement that they are professional firms, which really care about the standard of service provided.”

Chief executive of NALS Isobel Thomson claimed “the least” tenants and landlords should expect is that their letting agent is a member of the scheme.
