Checklist templates in myInspections are a powerful feature designed to save you time and ensure consistency across all your inspections. Whether you’re managing a few properties or a large portfolio, checklist templates allow you to standardise your processes, reduce manual input, and maintain professional reports.
What Are Checklist Templates?
Checklist templates are pre-defined inspection checklists you can create, save, and reuse across different properties. Instead of starting from scratch every time, you can quickly import a saved template for a specific type of property or room, ensuring all key inspection points are covered.
For example, you can create a “Standard Living Room Inspection” template with items like “Check smoke alarm” and “Inspect walls for damage.” Once saved, this template can be applied to any new living room space across your properties.

Why Use Checklist Templates?
- Consistency Across Inspections: Ensure every inspection is thorough and standardised, regardless of who conducts it.
- Save Time: Eliminate repetitive work by using templates instead of creating checklists manually for each space.
- Professionalism: Present well-structured and complete reports to landlords, tenants, or other stakeholders.
- Adaptability: Tailor templates to match specific property types, space requirements, or regulatory standards.
Tips for Maximising Checklist Templates
- Start with Commonly Used Spaces — Focus on areas like kitchens, living rooms, and bathrooms where inspections often have recurring items.
- Customise for Property Types — If you manage different property types (e.g., residential vs commercial), create templates tailored to each.
- Involve Your Team — Gather input from staff to make sure your templates cover all critical inspection points.
- Update Regularly — Revise templates as your needs evolve or regulations change.
