Do you ever find yourself wishing there was such a thing as an MOT for property rentals? If you’re shaking your head and thinking that sounds like a bad idea, hear me out. Sure, nobody jumps for joy at the prospect of taking their car in for an MOT. But let’s face it — that check-up is designed to ensure your vehicle is safe, compliant with the latest regulations, and running like a dream. It saves you from the headache of worrying about your brakes, lights, exhaust system, and everything in between. Just like a car, a property rental needs regular check-ups too, especially with all the changing regulations.

The Similarities Between Cars and Property Rentals

Running a property rental is surprisingly similar to maintaining a vehicle. Just like the DVLA sets the rules for cars, local councils impose regulations for rental properties. You might be scratching your head, wondering if your bannister is up to code or if you’re legally required to allow tenants with pets. And if your property hasn’t seen a lot of upgrades in years, you might be concerned about the boiler breaking down or whether you’re truly maximising your return on investment.

So, maybe a property MOT isn’t such a bad idea after all!
