12 Week
Property
Inspection
Matkap Properties do 12-week / quarterly inspections because it is a practical balance between protecting the landlord’s property and not interfering too much with the tenant’s home life.
​
In UK lettings, inspections every 3–6 months are generally treated as normal practice, with 12 weeks being common for managed properties, especially early in a tenancy or where the landlord/insurer wants regular records. Tenants must allow access for repairs and safety checks, but the tenant can suggest a convenient time
Why We Do This
Three Key Reasons
Support tenants & Landlord
They give tenants a chance to raise concerns and allow Matkap to update landlords clearly, helping communication stay smooth, issues get resolved quickly, and everyone feel supported.
Protect the property
Inspections help ensure the property is being looked after properly, kept clean, safe, and in good condition, protecting the landlord’s investment and maintaining the home’s long-term value.
Spot issues early
Regular 12-week inspections help identify maintenance problems, damage, leaks, damp, or wear and tear before they become more serious, expensive, or disruptive for the landlord and tenant.
