Gas Safety Week!

Gas Safety Week!
September 17, 2018

This year is the eighth annual gas safety week commencing from the 17th of September!

The gas safety week is all about helping to raise awareness of the dangers of poorly maintained gas appliances, which can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

At the Property Store we take our gas safety records very seriously and regularly stay on top of Gas safety certificates for each and every one of our properties for let. The first gas safety regulations were introduced in 1994 and later resulted in the current Gas safety (installation and use) Regulations 1998 which came into force on the 31st of October 1998. These regulations placed legal duties on landlords, agents and contractors dealing with rented properties. Failure to comply with the gas safety regulations is a criminal offence and the maximum penalty can result in imprisonment or a £20,000 fine. This is why we as agents are supporting gas safety week and always advise arrange all gas safeties with our contractors well in advance and notify our landlords if they arrange these themselves with plenty of time.

If you would like to pledge your support the this years gas safety week please visit https://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/gassafetyweek/ where you can take part and also receive a free toolkit along with leaflets and posters!

My experience with The Property Store, East Kilbride : Right from the beginning of my tenancy The staff at The Property Store have been so helpful and always attended to any issue promptly and efficiently. Every member of Staff I dealt with was highly professional, knew their job inside out and were friendly. I would like to mention Rachel in particular who I dealt with the majority of times. She is excellent at her job and I would not hesitate to recommend The Property Store to anyone looking for reliable Estate Agents.

"I would highly recommend The Property Store, Lorraine and her team are highly professional and efficient. The can-do approach that nothing is too much trouble is exceptional. Managing all our properties remotely was a great help and enabled us to carry on with smooth project running. The team took the stress out of the process but with a personal touch."

"For some time I had been looking at further property development opportunities on a buy to let basis. As a landlord I had already been working successfully with the Property Store for a number of years and I took the opportunity to discuss this with them. Living remote from East Kilbride and having talked through my requirements it was clear that the most suitable option was for the Property Store to source, develop and let on a fully managed basis.

I have been very impressed with the speed that things have moved particularly how quickly the properties are upgraded and prepared for letting to the point where we have had tenants in advance of completion of works. As a result I have now added three properties in a matter of a few months.

As a remote landlord it is essential that you build confidence in the agents you are dealing with and the team at the Property Store have been excellent to deal with. They are a well-trained motivated team who know what they are doing.

The Property Store utilises the services of a number of key contractors with whom they have has a business relationship for many years. The contractors know the exacting requirements of owner Lorraine Robb and can be trusted to provide competitive quotes as well as completing works to a high standard. The Property Store fully inspect all works and provide regular feedback and are quick to take care of those small details that make all the difference.

I have no hesitation in recommending the Property Store to anyone considering a fully managed service from sourcing to redevelopment to letting."
