Routine Inspections

What Renters Need to Know

Routine inspections are an important part of maintaining a rental property and ensuring it remains safe, well cared for, and in good condition. They also give renters an opportunity to raise any maintenance issues or concerns.

Why Routine Inspections Are Conducted

Inspections help property managers and rental providers:

  • Check the general condition and cleanliness of the property

  • Identify maintenance or safety issues early

  • Ensure the property is being cared for in line with the rental agreement

These visits are not about finding fault or to be a critique of your lifestyle - they’re about making sure the home stays comfortable and in good repair for everyone’s benefit.

How Often Inspections Occur

We conduct routine inspections within the first three months of a new tenancy and then typically every six months thereafter. We will always provide you with the legally mandated minimum of seven days' notice before an inspection.

What We Look For

During the inspection, we’ll check:

  • General cleanliness and upkeep

  • Condition of fixtures, fittings, and appliances

  • Outdoor areas, gardens, and any included facilities

  • Signs of damage or maintenance needs

Preparing for an Inspection

Before the inspection, we ask that you ensure the property is accessible and tidy. Please ensure any maintenance items you have are reported in writing before our attendance on the day.
To help you prepare confidently, please refer to our detailed routine inspection guide which outlines our expectations and process: Routine Inspection Guide

After the Inspection

You’ll receive feedback following the inspection, including any maintenance updates or follow-up actions if needed. Our goal is to work together to ensure the property remains a comfortable, safe home for you.
