Hello, I am thinking of renting out my flat to relocate nearer family during the pandemic.
I have recessed lighting in some rooms which was there when I bought the flat and I have found changing lightbulbs a complete nightmare.
Some lights have this contractable metal ring within the rim of the fixture that allows easier replacement of the lightbulb.
But with others I have to yank the whole fixture out of the ceiling. In one case I couldn't get it back into the ceiling properly and don't use it any more.
I am thinking of getting a (properly qualified) electrician to reinstall new recessed light fittings that allow the easiest possible replacement of bulbs.
Would this be acceptable if I am to rent the flat out? Or will tenants complain about
a) the difficulty of changing bulbs
b) the expense of bulbs, which can cost a fiver a time
I don't want to have to replace it with a single light fixture in each room, as it would be a lot more hassle and more expensive. Neither is it my preference as I may wish to live in the flat again and quite like the recessed lights - aesthetically at least.
Would I be best off getting a letting agent to do an assessment? Thanks in advance.
