Free Inspection Checklists (2024): Simplify Property Management with PropteOne

Managing Properties Has Never Been Easier

Whether you’re overseeing residential homes or managing commercial spaces, routine inspections are a critical part of property management. They ensure your properties are safe, habitable, and in compliance with legal standards. Beyond safety, inspections also prevent unnecessary costs, maintain tenant satisfaction, and ensure you stay on top of maintenance needs.

At PropteOne, we understand the challenges property managers face in organizing and executing these inspections. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive platform to streamline every step of the process.

Why Are Property Inspections Important?

Property inspections are essential for a variety of reasons:

  • Ensuring Habitability: Keep properties safe and comfortable for tenants.
  • Meeting Legal Requirements: Some inspections are required by law or as part of insurance policies.
  • Proactive Maintenance: Catch issues before they escalate into costly problems.
  • Enhancing Tenant Communication: Give tenants the opportunity to share concerns.

Types of Inspections Made Easy with PropteOne

Here’s a closer look at some common types of inspections and how PropteOne simplifies them:

Home Inspections

A home inspection evaluates the overall condition and safety of a property. Check elements like heating, plumbing, electrics, and more. With PropteOne, you can create detailed, customizable checklists for tasks such as:

☑ Steps/stairs
☑ Pathways
☑ Drains
☑ Gutters
☑ Brickwork
☑ Windows
☑ Worktops
☑ Sinks
☑ Sockets
☑ Appliances (washing machine, fridge etc.)
☑ Furniture (beds, chairs etc.)
☑ Ceilings
☑ Radiators

PropteOne’s reporting tools make it easy to compile findings into professional, shareable reports.

Fire Door Inspections

Fire door compliance is a non-negotiable for safety. Regular inspections are necessary to identify issues like worn seals or malfunctioning door closers. PropteOne ensures you stay compliant with built-in templates for:

☑ Gaps and seals (ensuring the correct size of gaps between the door and frame and the presence/quality of intumescent seals)
☑ Hinges and ironmongery (ensuring suitable fitting, quality, and operation)
☑ Fire door signage (with warnings being clearly displayed)
☑ Door and door frame (ensuring suitable condition and fitting in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions)
☑ Door closers (ensuring suitable condition and operation from any position)
☑ Hold open devices (checking that such devices allow for door closure when the alarm sounds).

Cleaning Inspections

Maintaining cleanliness is key for health and safety, especially in shared or high-traffic areas. PropteOne helps you track cleaning tasks like:

☑ Sweep, mop, or vacuum floors
☑ Wipe down worksurfaces, benchtops, and sinks
☑ Clean doors and windows
☑ Remove dust and cobwebs
☑ Clean any cooking appliances (ovens, microwaves etc.)
☑ Clean and disinfect toilets
☑ Clean any common areas
☑ Tidy and weed outdoor areas
☑ Remove oil and grease stains from driveways and concrete areas.

With PropteOne’s platform, you can assign cleaning tasks, monitor progress, and ensure nothing is overlooked.

Maintenance Inspections

Routine maintenance ensures the long-term health of your properties. PropteOne’s inspection tools help identify and resolve issues such as:

☑ Smoke alarms and Co2 detectors (ensuring that they are in good working order, with fresh batteries fitted)
☑ Utilities (ensuring the connectivity and working order of electricity, water and gas appliances, where relevant)
☑ Leaks and water damage (checking for any leaks, with pipes being replaced where necessary – monitors may also be fitted for early detection and prevention of water damage)
☑ Communal spaces (ensuring general cleanliness and repair of any furniture for safety)
☑ Bins and recycling facilities (cleaning and removing any unpleasant odours, as far as possible)
☑ Cosmetic defects (applying fresh paint and repairing any damages at the earliest opportunity).

With PropteOne, you can digitize maintenance tracking and assign tasks directly to your team.
