How often will Ultralets be inspecting my home?
This can vary but we typically inspect your property every 6 months. We try to be as unintrusive as we can but we need to ensure the landlord's property is being well looked after and ensure that your property doesn’t have any issues which may get worse over time. An inspection is usually under 10 minutes and gives you an opportunity to ask our team any questions about your tenancy or report any issues to us.

If I decide to leave how much notice do I need to give?
As per your tenancy agreement you will need to give us 30 days written notice in writing. This must be done via email, letter or written and submitted through our office. The 30 days starts from the day we receive the notice in writing. You will be sent an advice sheet via email detailing how your property should be left and when we will be attending to carry out the exit inspection.
