We’re delighted to welcome three new senior employees to the Gateway Property Management team this month.

Joanne Cox is our new Director of Operations, responsible for the procedures and policies that ensure we deliver a leading service – proactive and professional – across everything we do. Kelly Ivory-Empegliazzo and Stuart Coe, AIRPM, join the business as Senior Property Managers. They bring a wealth of industry experience to the Gateway properties in their portfolios. We’d like to wish Joanne, Kelly and Stuart all the best in their new roles. It’s great to have them as part of the team.

As autumn falls upon us, now’s a good time to take look at our guide on condensation and mould growth. You’ll find details on the causes of these common property issues, alongside some straightforward cures.

In most cases, the solution for misty windows is ventilating and heating your home properly. Condensation occurs when water vapour in the air turns to liquid (condenses) on a cold surface. Besides windows, water droplets are also typically found on walls, tiles, concrete floors and the exterior of toilet cisterns. Gateway’s property guide explains why condensation happens and, as a consequence of condensation, mould grows. You’ll also find a range of practical solutions, from opening the windows during ironing to keeping lids of pans when cooking and making sure you run the heating for at least a three-hour block at a time.
