Are there regular checks I need to do? Gas safety I am aware of, but what other little things do you do to keep an eye on the state of your house? Do you check the roof after a storm, or check for damp once a year behind cupboards or something?
We are completing on our first house in a fortnight and I am a bit clueless.
Our survey came back with very few issues; some of the iron guttering needs repairing, the roof is getting old (tho not leaking) and bricks need repointing. Small bit of damp behind the washing machine. Nothing else to worry about but obviously issues can and will arise and I'd like to be aware of them asap. What checks do you do to keep on top of things?
