What should a property maintenance plan include?

Practical property-care guidance · Updated 29 October 2026

Start with the property, not a package

List air-conditioning systems, electrical components, plumbing, roof and exterior areas, and internal finishes. Record existing concerns so the plan distinguishes current repairs from future care.

Define what is and is not included

Ask whether parts, consumables, specialist testing and emergency attendance are included. A lower headline fee is not a meaningful comparison without a matching scope.

Keep a practical record

Request a clear list of completed tasks, issues found and recommended next steps. For managed properties, access and responsibility should be agreed for each location.
