i have inherited my parents property and intend to live there in retirement in about 3 years and in the interim will rent it out.
Rather than move items up and down the country, I currently live 300 miles from property, I want to store things in the loft and add a padlock so that tenants do not have access. The downside is that the combi boiler is in the attic. I have a great plumber who would come out quickly if there was a problem but would the tenants be able to claim personal right of access for health and safety reasons?
i intend to have a key to the padlock onsite in a key safe with combination known to me, the letting agents and the plumber but not the tenants.
is this acceptable ? Could the tenants demand access ?
