Why
Left to its own, your lovely property will fade. Dirt left on surfaces provides a home for damp, mould and insects. Paint will crack and peel, exposing untreated wood to the elements.
This fence has been caught in time: left for another winter and the peeling paint would have let in water, leading to rot. The cost of replacing it is much more than a tin of paint.
You don't need to be an DIY expert, you just need to check your house. Use this web site to give yourself a checklist, with estimated costs.
If you are considering buying to let, use this to help understand your likely costs. It will also help you keep your property in good condition, without having to wait for things to break before landing an expensive repair bill.
