A guided process

In-built advice

Supporting emergencies for lease holders and tenants to protect their property and development.

All maintenance issues are followed up by our trusted, outsourced, independent specialist contractors.

Maintenance contractors are not employed by YL.  We are solely reliant on the contractors daily timescales and workloads for their estimated time of attendance. 

YL acts only as the point of contact between you, the tenant, your landlord and the contractors.

YL addresses issues with a pre-agreed maintenance expenditure limit – this will have been approved by your landlord in advance,  at the time of our appointment as the managing agent.

In cases where repair costs are higher than the agreed expenditure limit, YL must seek prior approval from the landlord before proceeding. 

It is the Tenants sole responsibility to ensure any maintenance issues are reported online immediately throughout the term of the tenancy.

For non-emergency maintenance issues within your property (non-communal areas), please report through our online repair reporting system.

Non-emergencies issues include:

  • Requests for meter readings
  • Replacement fobs and keys
  • General repairs to fixtures and fittings
  • Replacement of white goods and electrical appliances

In cases where a contractor has been called out for non-emergency:

The tenant will be required to cover the full cost.  This may include issues such as a tripped-out fuse box or the loss of keys.

Please note: the loss of front door keys and fobs, the replacement of batteries to fobs or the replacement of light bulbs or any other equipment, are not classed as emergencies and are all at the tenants’ own expense.

In instances where new locks have been installed and new keys have been issued, tenants will be requested to hand over a set to YL for management purposes.
