If you are a Landlord or Letting Agent you have arrived at the right place.
We at WPS are Landlords ourselves and have been members of the National Landlords Association for the last 10 years, we fully understand your needs. We can do as much or as little as you require, from the occasional repair to a full Maintenance contract of several properties.
As well as the inevitable demands from your Tenants landlords have duties and responsibilities placed on them by specific pieces of legislation the
- Landlord and Tenant Act 1985
- Consumer Protection Act 1987
- Electrical Equipment (safety) Regulations 1994
- Building Regulations 2000
- The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
Being 'safe' means there is little risk of injury or death to humans, or risk of damage to property. This applies to when the tenancy begins and throughout the life of the tenancy.
There are No statutory requirements to have annual safety checks on Electrical installation and appliances.The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IEE) recommends a formal periodic inspection and test every ten years and at change of tenancy. Many Insurance Companies also require regular checks on let property.
HMOs
Landlords of HMOs must comply with the The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This has superseded other legislation and places duties on landlords regarding fire safety.
We can design, install and maintain a complete system suitable for your property. The penalties for non compliance are severe and leave your tenants at risk.

Whatever you need we have got it
WPS offer Landlords and Letting Agents a tailor made service dependent on their requirements.
Many Landlords make use of a package we offer, This includes an annual Visual Inspection and Periodic Inspection at change of tenancy, with running repairs as and when needed.
This keeps costs low with no up front fees, only being invoiced for what you actually use. Landlords on this scheme get our guaranteed 24Hr call out service to their registered properties, very handy when you have a tenant on the phone wanting their electricity back on at two in the morning.
The inspections and any other work are fully documented and provide you with a record of the maintenance and condition of your installation should you ever need it.
If you have Gas Appliances in your properties we can arrange through our CORGI registered partner to complete your annual Gas safety check at the same time This saves time and money needing only one visit and one Invoice.
Some Landlords, especially those with a larger number of properties prefer their tenants to deal with us direct. Once the tenants details have been registered with us, we send them our contact details. This can save both the Landlord and tenant valuable time, while abuse of the system is prevented by predetermined limits on both spend and type of work.
Whatever your needs as a Landlord be it refurbishment of a newly acquired property, ongoing maintenance, inspection and testing or even putting somebody else’s mess right, we can help.
