Letting Agents Release Guidance on Hot Weather Risks for Rentals

Letting agents within the Lomond group have issued new guidance for landlords and tenants as the UK experiences its third heatwave of the summer. The advice highlights the impact of high temperatures on rental properties, especially apartments and modern homes that retain heat.

Matthew Smith, managing director at Thornley Groves, and Julian Wade have emphasised the importance of cooperation between landlords and tenants to keep homes cool, safe, and well-maintained during periods of extreme heat.

The guidance is intended to help both parties address the challenges posed by hot weather, which can affect property conditions and tenant comfort. Letting agents are encouraging proactive measures to manage these risks throughout the ongoing heatwave.
