We aim to keep our properties in good condition and make plans to maintain, replace or renew major installations. This work includes painting the outside of your home and common parts of blocks of flats, grounds maintenance, replacing kitchens, bathrooms and windows, and regular maintenance of gas appliances and fire detection equipment.
Cadwyn wants everyone to live in well managed and maintained homes. We own and manage over 1200 properties, and manage a further 600 on behalf of other landlords.

Repair Responsibilities
We are committed to fulfilling our repairs obligations quickly and efficiently and you can report repairs here.
Sometimes repairs are the tenant’s responsibility to fix, especially when things have been damaged or worn out due to misuse. This page sets out what is our responsibility to repair and what is yours. If you’re not sure please report it and we will let you know.
Moving In
Before you move into your new home we make sure that the home meets a lettable standard.
When you move into your new home you can expect:
- The property to be clean and tidy
- The gas appliances to be safe and working properly
- The decoration to be in good order – or we may give you a decoration voucher to enable you to buy your decoration materials.
- Within your new tenancy pack we will also include a set of photographs of the property and information about when the kitchen, bathroom and windows are due for replacement and when the outside of your property is due to be painted.
Hoarding
Hoarding is a disorder where someone stores a significant amount of items in their home which becomes unmanageable. These items often have little or no monetary value.
It’s considered a problem if:
- The clutter is affecting the quality of their life or their families.
- It interferes with everyday life e.g. being unable to use a kitchen or a bathroom.
- There is enough of it to be considered a fire risk.
If you are hoarding and would like support from us please contact your Neighbourhood Officer. For more information on this disorder please see the NHS‘s or Mind’s hoarding pages.
