WHY VCT EXISTS
Welsh landlord law is stricter. Your reporting should be too.
THE LAW HAS CHANGED
The Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 and FFHH regulations place a direct duty of care on landlords and agents. A standard visual inspection no longer provides adequate legal protection.
EVIDENCE WINS DISPUTES
High precision hygrometers, thermal imaging, dew point and RH% data. VCT reports give you scientific evidence that holds up when a dispute reaches the council - or a tribunal.
ONE INSPECTION. EVERY TIME.
You deal with Dean directly - not a call centre or a rotating roster of contractors. Every report is consistent, every visit is accountable, and every document delivered within 48 hours.
MONTHLY MONITORING CONTRACTS
YEAR-ROUND COMPLIANCE COVER. ROLLING MONTHLY. NO LOCK-IN.
Stop chasing one - off certificates and start with a single monthly visit that keeps your HMO compliant all year. One inspection. One digital report. Every month.
WHY CHOOSE VCT

FAQ
Q1: Do I need a damp inspection for a rented property in Wales?
A1: Yes — under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, landlords in Wales have a legal duty to ensure properties are fit for human habitation under the FFHH standard. A forensic damp inspection with scientific data protects you if a tenant raises a complaint or a council HHSRS investigation begins. VCT delivers damp inspection reports within 48 hours across Bridgend, Swansea, Llanelli, RCT and Neath Port Talbot. No VAT.
Q2: How much does a damp inspection cost in South Wales?
A2: VCT charges £195 to £225 for a standard 2 to 3 bed property. No VAT. 48-hour delivery. New letting agency partners receive 50% off their first inspection — just £97.50 for a full forensic damp and FFHH audit.
Q3: What is an HMO pre-licence audit?
A3: An HMO pre-licence audit is a RAG-rated inspection covering room sizes, fire safety, amenity provision and HHSRS standards — designed to ensure your HMO licence application passes first time with RCT Council, Swansea Council or Bridgend CBC. VCT HMO audits start from £295 for a 3-bed HMO across South Wales.
Q4: Do I need a fire risk assessment for my rental property in Wales?
A4: Yes — every landlord in Wales is legally required to have a current fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, reinforced by the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016. This is a legal requirement for all HMOs and is strongly recommended for single let properties. VCT fire risk assessments start from £150, delivered within 48 hours and referencing LACORS guidance.
Q5: What is FFHH and does it apply to my property?
A5: FFHH stands for Fitness for Human Habitation — a legal standard introduced by the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 that applies to all privately rented properties in Wales.
