Initial Inspection
When we take over a property we do a comprehensive initial condition report which goes into every detail of the property. Along with this we take a number of photos to keep on file.
When we have your new tenant all signed up and paid we meet them at the property to do the handover with them. At this point we take them through the initial condition report and get them to sign off on it as the condition they accept the property in. Experience has taught us this is the best way to avoid any disputes at the end of tenancy.

Routine Inspections
We do our first inspection 1 month into the tenancy to check everything is going alright for the tenant and they are looking after the place.
We then inspect the property every 3 months throughout the tenancy and you will receive a written report each time.

Final Inspection
At the end of tenancy we do the final bond inspection with the tenant present to arrange the bond refund. Any changes to the initial condition of the property (except normal wear and tear) will be taken from the bond as long as it falls within our rights under the Act.
