MICHAELA8668 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 We are about to relet our flat and have decided to do this ourselves instead of through an agent this time. I have been looking at the homelet maintenance insurance which would give our tenants an emergency number if a plumbing, etc disaster occurs. I was just wandering if any of you had used this and what you thought of it. Michaela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-Prop Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Hi Michaela! I used to use Homelet, but not the emergancy service, however I found better insurance quotes elsewhere so moved on. I agree this service can be useful to the tenants (and provide peace of mind to you) however if my tenants had the phone number I'd be more worried they would be ringing up everytime a tap drips and running up a huge bill for me If you live far away and cannot easily attend to problems then it may be worth it. However it may be cheaper just to find a local plumber who can fix the problem should it ever occur. I guess it depends on how good you think your plumbing is! If you're expecting lots of problems and you live miles away, then it's probably worth it! Trevor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICHAELA8668 Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Thanks Trevor. I will give this a miss I think. It occurred to me that the tenants may call for every little thing. Michaela. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letcare Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 why not try letcare. they provide a home emergency breakdown scheme the an annual gas safety check and if the tenant tries to make a claim the landlord is called first before the contractor goes out and any work is done. which is always handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
