It can be very important to get a quality, independent assessment of the condition of the property from an independent building inspector who is a WA Registered Builder with a minimum of 20 years construction experience. Property owners can secure real value in obtaining an independent assessment on how well the property is being maintained and what they need to budget for over the coming three years.<\/p>\n<p>Houspect prepares residential property maintenance reports on behalf of property owners or their property managers. These reports are not pre purchase inspections.<\/p>\n<p>The reports represent the findings of a thorough visual inspection of the entire property and include an assessment of any:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Structural defects<\/li>\n<li>Building Defects<\/li>\n<li>Significant non-compliant (Building Code or Australian Standards) items<\/li>\n<li>Notable maintenance items which are due now or are likely to become due over the coming three years<\/li>\n<li>Safety Omissions (Smoke detectors, RCD\u2019s, gas vents, balustrades and similar)<\/li>\n<li>The reports include a high level builder\u2019s indicative estimate of the costs to remediate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When Do We Do Undertake Investment Property Maintenance Inspections?<\/h2>\n<p>Maintenance inspections for\u00a0investment properties can literally be undertaken at any point in time and can be updated as required.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cwhen to undertake\u201d estimates of remediation and maintenance work is shown in financial years from the date of the inspection so as to assist with income, expense and tax planning.<\/p>\n<h2>3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What Do We Do During the Property Maintenance Inspections?<\/h2>\n<p>Essentially we undertake a broad and thorough inspection of the entire property inclusive of:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The interior of the house<\/li>\n<li>The roof space (where OH&amp;S access is available)<\/li>\n<li>The roof cover and roof plumbing on ground level roofs<\/li>\n<li>The exterior of house<\/li>\n<li>The sub floor space (where OH&amp;S access is available)<\/li>\n<li>All structures within 30 m of the house including fences, retaining walls, sheds, patios, gazebos, carports, paving, etc.<\/li>\n<li>For multi storey houses we have the option (if required) to extend the scope of the inspection to the roof cover and roof plumbing on upper level roofs using commercial drones<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once all of the maintenance items and defects have been identified and listed, our inspectors will provide a high level builders estimate of the costs to undertake the identified work. It is important to understand that these estimates are not quotes but simply high level builder\u2019s <strong>indicative<\/strong> estimates.<\/p>\n<h2>4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Why is it Important?<\/h2>\n<p>There are a multitude of reasons that support quality forward planning of maintenance and defect expenditure:<\/p>\n<p>1.<strong>\u00a0Advance Identification of the Building Issues.\u00a0<\/strong>One of the most important reasons for a thorough building inspection is the actual advanced identification of future maintenance issues prior to the issues becoming an urgent repair where the remediation costs can be a significant and unwelcome surprise.<\/p>\n<p>2.<strong> Identification of Issue.\u00a0<\/strong>Many property managers are exceptional at keeping your investment property tenanted and the incoming cash flow sustained. However, they may not have the skills, experience or knowledge to undertake a thorough inspection of the entire property and what to look for. As a general observation there are few property managers who will climb onto the roof, into the roof space or under the floor frame to investigate exactly what is occurring in and around an investment property to determine what maintenance is required.<\/p>\n<p>3<strong>. Professional Independence.\u00a0<\/strong>On many occasions it can be well worth getting an unbiased, independent professional opinion on what work is actually required on a property and what the indicative costs are before a whole range of quotes are obtained. We have seen significant quotes provided for work on properties that we simply do not believe is necessary to be undertaken. Similarly we have seen significant maintenance and defect items ignored for many years without any appreciation that the work needs to be undertaken. Houspect WA will not undertake any of the actual maintenance work identified\u00a0 in our maintenance reports nor will we provide recommendations to individual trades so as to ensure that our independence is maintained as well as warranting that we can return to the property and reinspect completed work, if required.<\/p>\n<p>4.<strong> Financial Planning.\u00a0<\/strong>From a financial perspective, having forward estimates of likely maintenance and defect expenditure can provide significant benefit from an income and taxation standpoint.<\/p>\n<p>5.<strong> Insurance and Safety Exposure.\u00a0<\/strong>Maintaining a proactive position in relation to maintenance management should provide a stronger position in rejected insurance claims (I.e. non-claimable ceiling collapses) as well as claims by tenants against unsafe living conditions. Proactive maintenance can also contribute toward tenant retention during periods of high vacancy rates. <strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So What are the
