Almost three-quarters, 73%, of landlords claim that their rental properties are returned back to them in an average or poor condition when the tenant vacates, a survey has revealed.1
The study, conducted by estate agent review website MeetMyAgent.co.uk, also found that just 5% of landlords say that their emptied properties are complete wrecks when the tenant has moved out.1
However, four in ten, 41% of landlords, say that on at least one occasion, their rental property has been returned in such a bad state that they have needed to complete a full refurbishment on the home.1
Just 27% of landlords have had their property left to them in a good condition.1
Over a quarter, 29%, states that they have spent at least £1,000 returning their property to the condition it was in at the beginning of the tenancy agreement. 10% claimed that their repair bill was £2,500 or more.1
