A new building starts depreciating the day it is handed over. Maintenance decides how quickly.
Most building defects that become expensive begin as something small and visible: a blocked gutter, a hairline crack, a dripping valve, a lifted roofing sheet.
A simple schedule catches them. Inspect roofs and gutters before and after the rains. Check drainage falls and clear silt traps. Test electrical protection devices. Look for damp patches early, when the cause is still cheap to trace.
Repaint external surfaces on a planned cycle rather than when they look bad — external paint is protective, not only decorative.
Keep a maintenance record for the property. When you eventually sell or let it, documented care is worth real money.
