How to remove a property

Managing your properties efficiently in myInspections is key to staying organised, and sometimes that means removing a property you no longer need. Whether it’s an archived property or one that’s no longer active, we’ve got you covered with this step-by-step guide.

Step-by-step: Removing a property (via the app)

Step 1 - Archive the property

To tidy up your main property list, you can archive any property you no longer need to see. Archiving removes it from the main list while keeping all associated inspections securely stored for future reference.

Open the app
Go to your list of properties under the title “My Properties”
Select the property you want to remove
Press the three dots (…) to open a menu of options
Select “Archive Property” from the menu to archive it
Confirm the archive action

Step 2 - Permanently delete the property

Return to the app’s front page
Press the three dots next to “My Properties”
Select “View Archived”
Find the property you just archived
Press the three dots again next to the property
Select “Permanently Delete” to remove it completely from your phone and account

Step-by-step: Removing a property (via the website)

If you are on a paid plan you can also remove a property, by editing it online. Here's how to do it:

Log In to Your Account - Start by logging into your myInspections account on the web dashboard.
Navigate to Your Properties List - Once logged in, go to the Properties tab on the left-hand menu to view your current list of properties.
Find the Property You Want to Delete - Scroll through your list or use the search bar to locate the property you wish to remove.
Select the Delete Option
- Click the three-dot menu (options icon) next to the property’s name.
- From the dropdown menu, select Delete.
Confirm the Deletion - A confirmation pop-up will appear to ensure you don’t accidentally delete a property. Click Confirm to permanently delete the property from your account.

Keep in Mind

Inspections in archived properties count towards your free plan limits
Once a property is permanently deleted, it cannot be recovered, so double-check before confirming deletion.

This process is designed to ensure you have control over your property records, whether you’re cleaning up your list or making room for new additions. If you encounter any issues, our support team is always here to help.

Things to look for at the beginning of an inspection

You don’t need to be a pro to spot the most common issues in a property. The first few minutes of an inspection can often tell you more than the rest of the walkthrough. Starting with the right mindset helps set the tone for the whole inspection. There are certain signs that, if checked early, can quickly reveal a lot about a property’s condition. For example, checking the areas around a shower might show the first hints of mould before it turns into a major hazard. Similarly, a small crack ...
