Builders in Sunderland: Renters vs homeowners
Homeowners: As the owner, you’re responsible for hiring, paying and insuring your builder, as well as obtaining planning permission if necessary. Get quotes in writing, confirm permissions, and make sure your builder has the right qualifications.
Renters: Your landlord or letting agent is usually responsible for any repairs or structural work. Report the issue to them and don’t try to fix it yourself.
Landlords: You must keep rental properties safe and legally compliant. Hire qualified, insured builders in Sunderland to carry out repairs and upgrades.
