Hi Christina28,
If the property is rented out you can claim expenses for general repairs and maintenance and set them against the rental income, in the tax year that they arise, as they are revenue expenses.  They cannot be claimed against capital gains, if the property is disposed of.  If this is your main residence, then there is no relief available.
Thank you.
