Hi there,  
This is it,  the full 12 Landlord Nightmares Before Christmas! 
A freezer breaking at the time when you need it most is a 'chilling' thought! 
If this happens with your tenants, we really do have a team of reliable and trusty contractors who will be more than happy to help. 
I really hope you have enjoyed my 12 Landlord Nightmares before Christmas. It really is a bit of fun but also to show you how important having the right team around you to look after your most expensive asset is so important.
I really love to help my clients become a stress-free and relaxed landlord.  They know their property really is in safe hands with Perren Property.
Till next time,  





Hi there,  
On the eleventh day of Christmas my tenant's phoned me.... (remember to sing it now!) 
Eleven electrics sparking! Arghhh this is not good at all.
 At Perren Property we recommend your property electrics be checked prior to a tenancy start.  But need an emergency electrician fast- no problem we can help. 
I hope you are enjoying the 12 Landlord Nightmares Before Christmas. I wonder what number 12 will be...
Till then, 




Hi there,  
Tenth day of Christmas,  and I really hope your property chimney does not start smoking! However, it is important that you or your tenant (depending on what is in your tenancy agreement) gets the chimney swept. I would suggest every 12-18 months. 
I hope you enjoy the 12 Landlord Nightmares Before Christmas.

Hi There,  
Ninth day of Christmas and the oven decides to break just before your tenant needs to cook the turkey.  
We want to create the best possible service for you and your tenant . If the oven was to break on Christmas Day and we couldn't get it repaired. We would do our ultimate best to provide a relaxing Christmas with minimum stress. 
I hope you enjoy the 12 Landlord Nightmares Before Christmas.
Till next time,  



Hi there,  
Eighth day of Christmas, and a broken dishwasher over Christmas is not ideal.
We always want to be on hand to help our landlords and tenants.  We will get our domestic maintenance contractor out as soon as possible.  We have collected washing up in the past on Boxing Day to really help our tenants  and landlords to have a relaxing Christmas. 
I hope you enjoy the 12 Landlord Nightmares Before Christmas.
Till next time,  



Hi there,  
Seventh day of Christmas, and your tenant calls with a leak in the property. Big or small you need to make sure your tenant knows exactly where the stopcock is.  
Whether it be an insurance claim or a small repair, we are on hand to coordinate all necessary works to a high quality standard. 
I hope you enjoy the 12 Landlord Nightmares Before Christmas.
Till next time,




Hi there,  
Sixth day of Christmas, and a power cut has happened in the street. Leaving your rental property burglar alarm to fault and guess what it's 11pm.
Here at Perren Property we have a 24 hour maintenance line so your tenant can call and report any time they like. 
I hope you enjoy the 12 Landlord Nightmares Before Christmas.
Till next time,  




Hi there,  
Fifth day of Christmas,  and the wind storm hits, fence panels are down leaving the garden open for your tenant's dog to runaway! 8am the following morning,  just as your leaving for work and fit in the school run,  your tenant rings you to report the broken fence panels. 
This is one of the busiest times of year for fencing companies. We have trusted suppliers who can repair and replace any broken panels quickly and efficiently.  
I hope you enjoy the 12 Landlord Nightmares Before Christmas.
Till next time,  



Hi there,  
Fourth day of Christmas,  and your social diary is booking up fast. But before you go out your tenant calls with a blocked drain.  But who do you call? (not ghostbusters!)  We can organise any maintenance required over the season and in 2017. 
I hope you enjoy the 12 Landlord Nightmares Before Christmas.
Till next time,  



Hi there,  
Third day of Christmas, it's getting colder and the frost is on the windscreen. What is one of the worst things that can go wrong? - your tenant's boiler to breakdown (it never happens in the summer!)  At Perren Property our Gas Engineers can be out within 24 hours of the initial call.
You can relax, your tenants won't be cold this Christmas.  
I hope you enjoy the 12 Landlord Nightmares Before Christmas.
Till next time,  



Hi there,  
Second day of Christmas and as a landlord, you don't want to be finding a glazier when your tenants call you at this busy time of year.  At Perren Property we have a list of trusty window glaziers who are always on hand to help.
I hope you enjoy the 12 Landlord Nightmares Before Christmas.
Till next time,  





Hi there,  
Last month of the year, time to start planning Christmas and indulge in some glorious food and festive spirits.
First day of Christmas and believe it or not many tenants lose their keys or get locked out. When your property is managed by Perren Property we always have a spare set of keys available in case your tenant does lose their keys at the office Christmas party!
Being a landlord over the winter months can be testing, especially when you have other plans. I have recreated my version of the 12 Days of Christmas and over the next 12 days you'll receive the next verse to the very well known Christmas song.
I hope you enjoy the 12 Landlord Nightmares Before Christmas.
Till next time,
