Day-to-day operating brief

What Property Inspector work looks like in practice

A Property Inspector visits managed homes or buildings to record condition, inventory changes, maintenance needs and occupancy observations. Terms should cover notice and appointments, lone working, keys, photographs, meters, moisture readings, resident privacy, urgent hazards and report standards. The inspector should not enter without authority, move possessions to improve photographs, diagnose concealed causes beyond competence or use subjective lifestyle judgements as evidence of property damage. Reports should distinguish direct observation, occupant statement and inferred cause, using comparable room and feature references across visits. When keys fail or access is refused, the inspector should record the actual attempt and notify the manager; an external photograph is not a substitute for an interior inspection. Check-out observations should avoid assigning deposit responsibility; the report records condition for later comparison and decision. Meter photographs should show the relevant identifier as well as the reading.

Capture condition photographs and readings.
