Information for Homeowners
If you’re a Shared Owner, this section is home to useful information for you.
Boilers/heating systems/gas & electricity
It is the responsibility of the current Shared Owner to have any necessary checks carried out on the boiler and gas appliances. If a gas safety check has not been carried out in the last year, you will need to have this done if you are selling, before the exchange of contracts. It is very important to have your gas supply checked properly at least once a year to make sure your home continues to be safe to live in – it will be your responsibility to arrange this going forward.
For new owners, when you complete on your property, you become responsible for servicing and maintaining any of these items to ensure they are safe and functioning efficiently and properly. You should also make sure all electrical items in your home are safe. If an electrical safety inspection has not been carried out in the last ten years, if you are selling you will need to have one carried out before the exchange of contracts.
The seller should leave behind any user manuals for the heating/hot water system and any other utility services provided in your home. You must read and familiarise yourself with these. Love Living Homes are not the seller of resale properties, the services and appliances within the property are not assessed or tested by Love Living Homes.
Please note - it is also the new homeowners' responsibility to register the warranty for all appliances within the home.
