Our tenancy agreements state that you cannot redecorate or make alterations to the property without express written permission from the Landlord or their agent. If you would like to redecorate or make any alterations we would require a sample of the colour you wish to paint, or a sample of the wall paper you wish to use, and a plan of exactly which walls you wish to redecorate. We will then contact the landlord and if they are in agreement we would write to you, granting permission and explaining if the landlord is happy for the new redecoration to remain when you vacate the property or if the landlord would like the property returned to its original decoration, upon vacation. A file note will be placed upon your property file, for the purposes of the book-out when you vacate your property.

In accordance with your tenancy agreement, express written permission from your landlord will be required in such cases. If the property is managed by Hicks Hadley, you will need to submit a request to us in writing and we will then make the request on your behalf. It is important that you do not arrange to have any alterations or additional services installed until you have received confirmation in writing. This will prevent misunderstandings at the end of your tenancy and help protect your deposit.

A routine property inspection visit is carried out during the tenancy by a Hicks Hadley representative to ensure that the property is in a good condition and there is no evidence of maintenance issues that may worsen if not dealt with quickly. It is an opportunity to speak to you about the property and ensure you are happy within your home and have no concerns. We will always write to you beforehand giving at least one week notice (normally we give over one months notice) to advise when each routine visit is due. Our visits are undertaken in working hours on a Thursday. You will be required to facilitate access for property visits to be undertaken. Our representative will able to use our management set of keys for access if you cannot be present. (However, we would always confirm with you before gaining entry using our management set of keys).
