Improved inspection frequency controls
Over the last year, one of our most common feature requests has been more flexibility around inspection reminders.
Instead of adding more preset options, we’ve rebuilt this from the ground up. You can now fully customise your inspection schedule and choose exactly when you want to be reminded.
Let’s start on the web dashboard, where you can set everything up.
Set up your defaults
On the web dashboard, you can now define a default inspection schedule for all new properties. Whether you want inspections every 6 months or every 7 days, it’s completely up to you.
You can also choose how many days in advance you’d like to be reminded.
Once set, any new property will automatically follow your default schedule—no extra setup required. You can even apply this default to your existing properties in one click.
Customisable for any property
Need something different for a specific property? No problem.
You can set a custom interval for each property to match your workflow. Whether that’s weekly, monthly, or something more unique, you’re in control.
You can also adjust how early you’re reminded. Previously, reminders were fixed at 14 days. Now, you can choose to be notified 3, 5, 7, 14 or 21 days in advance
Making changes on the app
To access these improvements, make sure you’re on the latest version of the app (1.8.3).
Any changes you make on the web will automatically sync to the app. When you’re out on-site, you can also update the inspection schedule directly from your device.
You’ll see the next inspection date clearly displayed on property cards, both on the home screen and within each property. This makes it easy to stay on top of what’s coming up next.
For now, reminder timing is managed on the web dashboard. We’ll be adding the ability to customise this directly in the app soon.

Insights from a property inspector who’s completed hundreds of inspections
If you own or manage a rental property, you probably already understand why routine inspections matter. They’re not just about ticking boxes or making sure the place looks presentable — they help catch problems early, protect your investment, and ensure tenants stay safe and happy.
But even experienced landlords, property managers, and yes, professional inspectors, can overlook things. I know this because I’ve conduct...
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 ...
6 lessons from inspecting 100 properties
By the time most inspectors reach their 100th property, they’re a lot more confident than on day one. The first few inspections often take longer, nerves get in the way, and mistakes are easier to make. But with time, certain lessons stand out as the ones that make inspections smoother, more consistent, and more professional.
Here are six of the biggest lessons learned from inspecting 100 properties.
1. Communication is everything
Tenants often downplay problems — not out of dishonesty, but...
Setting up your team’s portfolio
