The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) is encouraging property owners and managers to keep an out out for the effects of winter weather on their property. People leaving premises for any length of time are advised to turn their water off at the mains to reduce the risk of frozen pipes bursting.

Areas that should be inspected include:
- Roof
- Loft
- Gutters/drains
- Walls
- Windows
- Doors
“These simple tasks will not only help householders keep warmer during any more harsh weather conditions, but they will significantly reduce soaring energy bills and can be undertaken safely in the home. However, it is essential to seek the advice of reputable building professionals when looking to complete larger jobs. For advice on how much to pay for home improvements, the RICS Property Makeover Guide provides a good indication on how much you should pay.”
Keith Denholm, Allied Surveyors Scotland & RICS Scotland Residential Property Professional Group Chair
