Casual inspection services for landlords

Get the most out of your rental properties with Habitat’s casual inspection service

Self-managing landlords know that staying on top of property inspections isn’t the most exciting job in the world. But it doesn’t have to be like that. Habitat’s casual property inspections are a cost-effective way to help put your investment journey on autopilot, rather than employing our full property management service.

Here’s what you get with Habitat’s inspection service:

  • The option to book regular inspections or one-off rental inspections.

  • We organise the inspection date and time with your tenant on your behalf, in line with the residential tenancies act.

  • Our Property manager conducts a thorough visual inspection of the interior and exterior of the property.

  • A comprehensive report is thoroughly documented and sorted into rooms and areas, with clear photos illustrating its condition.

  • Any damage or maintenance issues are highlighted, along with any notes to help advise if your property meets legal requirements.

  • If an entry inspection or exit inspection is required, we refer to your tenancy agreement to ensure that the tenant has met any obligations they have in the additional clauses and that the property is in a reasonable standard.
     

Whilst this service helps identify maintenance issues, organising contractors and repairs is an additional service.

What are casual property inspections?

Casual property inspections refer to regular visual examinations of your rental property conducted as a one-off, or ongoing property management service. Reviewing our property inspection report will help identify any potential problems before they become serious issues, which can save you a lot of money in the long run. For example, if a water pipe were to suddenly burst in an unseen corner of your rental unit, it could cause thousands of dollars worth of damage – but if caught early through a regular inspection, this could easily be avoided.

Advantages of using casual inspections in your rental process

There are several advantages to using casual inspections for your rental properties, such as reduced expenses on maintenance and repairs due to catching problems early on; increased efficiency in operations due to finding solutions quickly; and improved confidence in business operations because you know exactly what needs fixing and when. Additionally, your insurer likely requires quarterly property inspections as a condition of your policy. All these benefits combined can save you both time and money in the long run!
