The void period is where minor defects can be repaired without disrupting tenants. A structured look round is normally cheaper than discovering the issue after move-in.
Work through the everyday failure points
Check doors, locks, windows, taps, wastes, toilets, sealant, extractor fans, lighting, flooring and obvious signs of leaks or water ingress. Record defects clearly so small jobs do not get lost in handover.
Line up the right trade early
Some work needs a qualified specialist and supporting documentation. Identifying that before the property is due to be let keeps the programme cleaner and prevents the usual last-minute scramble.
