How to perform an inspection
Managing property inspections doesn't need to be complicated. With the myInspections app, you can go from start to finished report. This guide walks through adding a property, running the inspection, capturing issues, and finishing with a signed report.
Step 1: Add a property
Start by adding the property you want to inspect.
- Enter the property's address.
- Save and you're ready to go.
Step 2: Choose your inspection template
If you've set up inspection templates, pick the one that matches the inspection you're running, e.g. Move-in, Routine, Final. Your areas, checklists and instructions are ready before you take a step.
- No templates yet? You can build the inspection as you walk, area by area. When you're ready, build a template so your next inspection starts prepared.
- Inspected the property before? We suggest the areas and checklists you used last time, so a repeat inspection picks up where the last one left off.
Step 3: Run the inspection
Work through the property one area at a time, e.g. Lounge, Kitchen, Bedroom 1.
- If your template has instructions for an area, they appear when you open it.
- Use the area's checklist to make sure nothing is missed, marking each item "No issues" or "Requires attention" as you go.
- Areas you skip stay off the report, so there are no half-empty sections.
Step 4: Capture photos
Take wide shots of the room, then close-ups of any issues you find.
- Photos and video attach to the area automatically.
- Take as many as you need. They're stored at full resolution.
- Visuals give clear evidence of the property's condition.
Step 5: Record issues and to-dos
If you spot a problem, mark it on the checklist.
- Add a note describing the issue, e.g. "Crack in plasterboard".
- Create a to-do for your maintenance team.
- Everything is tracked in one place.
Step 6: Add notes and wrap up the area
Finish each area with general notes. These appear directly in the report.
- Highlight condition and tidiness.
- Point out if repairs are scheduled.
- Save and continue to the next area.
Step 7: Finish the inspection
When you're done, finish the inspection.
- Review your report.
- Add final comments.
- Preview how it will look for tenants or owners.
Step 8: Get signatures
Make reports official by capturing signatures.
- Anyone with you can sign on the spot, right on your device.
- Or send a secure link for remote signing, no app download required.
- Signed reports are stored and ready to share.
Step 9: Share the report
Your inspection report is generated instantly.
- View it online in any browser.
- Share its digital link with anyone who needs it.
- Download a professional PDF copy.
That's it. From inspection to signed report in minutes.
