Is a property maintenance contract worth it for landlords?
Quick Answer
For most landlords in Lincoln, a property maintenance contract is worth it if annual compliance costs (EICR, CP12, boiler service, inspections) come close to the membership fee. LWR Group's Landlord Group Membership starts from £200 per month and includes £1,325 of compliance work annually — meaning most landlords break even on the compliance pack before a single discounted maintenance job runs, and then save 30% on all labour on top.
The average UK landlord spends around £1,374 per property per year on maintenance before compliance costs. Adding a five-yearly EICR (around £200 = £40 per year), annual CP12 and boiler service (£140), and any damp surveys or inspections, the total compliance and maintenance bill per property typically runs £1,600 to £1,900 per year for a diligent landlord.
The LWR membership turns that into a fixed monthly cost, removes the coordination burden of sourcing trades, and adds a tenant portal so tenants report issues directly rather than calling you. For landlords with two or more properties, the per-property savings compound quickly.
