HomeServe Offers Cp12 and Boiler Service for Almost Half the Price of Other Providers

Walsall, UK (PRWEB UK) 6 March 2013

With spring approaching, HomeServe is set to take some of the pain out of potentially costly but essential boiler maintenance for the country’s financially-pressured residential landlords.

Until 5pm on 2nd April, HomeServe will be offering landlords an annual gas safety check (CP12) from just £36 per property in the first year, almost half the price of other providers.

All landlords are required to have a CP12 annually for all properties they rent out, and for landlords with sizeable portfolios, the cost – and complication – can escalate rapidly.

HomeServe’s offering also includes a gas boiler service, which could save landlords money - and hassle by identifying potential problems with tenants’ boilers before they go wrong.

HomeServe’s Spring sale includes a range of home emergency cover related products, starting from only £62.48 a year. These offer landlords protection against a range of household problems, from burst pipes to faulty electricals to pest infestations, and allow tenants to call out help directly, helping to take all the hassle out of home emergencies.

HomeServe Membership’s CEO Jonathan King said: “At a time when many landlords are feeling the pinch, and when many of their tenants are demanding increasing value for money, offering a CP12 with boiler service at this rate can make a real difference. And as well as saving landlords money on the inspection, and potentially even more via a boiler service, it will also give them – and their tenants – peace of mind.”
