The success of your property investment lies in the hands of the people surrounding it. This includes the tradespeople maintaining your property. Make sure you hire tradies who will guarantee the growth of your investment.
Research
Before you decide on hiring someone, ask yourself, “Am I comfortable with this person?” Do research, whether that’s looking them up online or speaking with them directly to get an understanding of how they communicate.
Skills and Qualifications
Check that their skills suit the job that needs to get done safely and that produces quality output at the same time.
Ask for IDs, copies of insurances and make sure they are licenced and certified. Ask for a copy of the company certificate that the tradesman studied with as well as their registration number. You can look it up on the company website to see if the registration matches the details you have been presented.
Payments
To make sure that you protect yourself from incidents of overcharging, payments upfront is one solution. Avoid asking for an estimate as it is subject to change as the work progresses. Establish a payment schedule indicating the work you needed done, the amount and the payment frequency. Ask for an invoice on every payment that you make.
