Looking After Your Cotswold Investment

At Harrison Hardie, we’ve spent more than a few seasons tending to the honey-stone homes that make the North Cotswolds such a joy. From our High Street offices in Bourton-on-the-Water and Moreton-in-Marsh, we know that no two landlords—or properties—are quite the same. 

Tailor-made Maintenance 

Some landlords prefer to be told the moment a tap so much as drips; others would rather we simply roll up our sleeves and see it put right. So, we offer a bespoke maintenance package to suit: 

  • Hands-on option – every tenant-reported issue is sent straight to your inbox for approval. 

  • Hands-off option – agree a spending limit with us, and any urgent work below that threshold is handled automatically—quicker than you can say “right as rain”. 

Either way, your tenants stay happy and your investment stays in good nick. 

Your dedicated in-house Property Manager 

We don’t outsource inspections to faceless firms. Our in-house Property Manager covers both offices and brings with them a healthy dose of local knowledge and attention to detail. Because they’re part of the Harrison Hardie team, you benefit from: 

  • A consistent point of contact—no call centre runaround. 

  • Genuine Cotswold expertise: we know who can handle a 300-year-old lintel and who can’t. 

Routine visits, proper records 

  • Initial inspection: Month 4 of every tenancy 

  • Ongoing: Every six months thereafter 

Each visit is carefully documented with clear notes and photographs, then shared with both landlord and tenant. No guesswork—just full transparency and a clear picture of how your property is being looked after. 

Why does it matter? 

Because proper maintenance in the Cotswolds isn’tjust about repairsit’s about protecting your asset: 

  • Preserve that Cotswold-stone charm – small fixes now mean fewer costly jobs later. 

  • Happy tenants, longer tenancies – people stay longer when they feel cared for. 

  • Stay compliant – our reporting ensures you're on the right side of lettings legislation. 


Let’s keep your property in top shape 

Whether your cottage nestles by the mill stream or your townhouse overlooks the bustle of the High Street, our bespoke service flexes to fit. Pop into the office, give us a ring, or drop us a line—we’ll help create a maintenance plan that suits you down to the ground. 

Harrison Hardie—local, trusted, and here to keep your Cotswold property looking its finest.
