Have you ever thought about how the condition of your home is checked and improved?
As part of our landlord responsibilities, we need to visit your home regularly to ensure it is kept in good condition. We do this through Stock Condition Surveys which are important to help keep our community safe and comfortable.
What is a stock condition survey?
A stock condition survey is a visual inspection of the inside and outside of your home. It should take around 30 minutes. The surveyor collects information on the condition of your home, looking specifically at the age and condition of major elements in your home such as the kitchen, bathroom, windows and doors.
What happens during a stock condition survey?
While visiting your home, the surveyor will check the condition, age and predicted renewal date for the following areas:
- kitchen and bathroom
- roof coverings
- insulation in the loft space
- condition of external walls
- boundary fences and boundaries of any adjoining public land
- fascia, soffits and gutters
- painting to any previously painted external areas
- external doors, windows and canopies and more.
Please note, this survey does not collect information on any outstanding repairs to your home. If you need a repair visit https://nghomes.net/repairs/ or call us on 0141 560 6000.
Why do we carry out stock condition surveys?
The data gathered from the surveys is used to plan for repairs and future investment programmes.
Do you need to come inside my home?
Yes – Nixons, our appointed surveyors, will need access to the inside and outside of your home. All surveyors will carry a Nixon’s photo identification card.
