How to Complete an Inspection in Minutes with myInspections
Managing property inspections doesn’t need to be complicated. With the My Inspections app, you can go from start to finished report in just a few steps. In this tutorial, we’ll walk through the process of adding a property, running an inspection, capturing issues, and finalising a report.
Step 1: Add a Property
Start by adding the property you want to inspect.
- Enter the property name or address
- Choose the inspection type (initial, routine, or final)
- Save and you’re ready to go
Step 2: Run the Inspection (Lounge Example)
When you enter a room, you can use a checklist to make sure nothing is missed.
- Checklists are included in all paid plans
- You can use a pre-built checklist or create your own
- Check items off as you go
Step 3: Capture Photos
Take wide shots of the room, then close-ups of any issues you find.
- Photos are automatically attached to the report
- You can take as many as you need
- Visuals help give clear evidence of property condition
Step 4: Record Issues & Tasks
If you spot a problem, mark it on the checklist.
- Add notes describing the issue (e.g., “Crack in plasterboard”)
- Create a task for your maintenance team
- Everything is tracked in one place
Step 5: Add Notes & Wrap Up the Room
Finish each room 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 room
Step 6: Finalise 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 7: Get Signatures
Make reports official by capturing signatures.
- Property manager and tenant can sign on the device
- Or send a link for remote signing
- Signed reports are securely stored and ready to share
Step 8: Share the Report
Your inspection report is generated instantly.
- View it online
- Share a digital link
- Download a professional PDF copy

That’s it — from inspection to signed report in minutes.

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.

On the web dashboard, you can now define a default inspection schedule for all new properties. Whether you want in...
Balancing empathy and accuracy
On paper, inspections look simple. Test the smoke alarms. Take the photos. Write the report. In reality, inspections happen in people’s homes - and homes come with emotion.
They touch on where someone lives, how someone feels safe, and how someone protects their investment. That combination naturally creates tension. Tenants may fear being blamed. Landlords may worry about hidden damage. And sometimes, both sides want you firmly on their team.
But your role, as an inspector, isn’t to take...
Lighting, leaks, and latches: The 3 L’s every inspector should check twice
Routine inspections aren’t just about ticking boxes. They’re about safety, prevention, and protecting the long-term condition of a property. Whether you own, manage, or live in a rental, the biggest problems rarely start big. They begin as small, easily dismissed annoyances.
Over time, I’ve found that three simple areas consistently cause the most avoidable issues:
Lighting.
Leaks.
Latches.
They sound basic. That’s exactly why they’re often overlooked.
Lighting: more than just a bulb

Using video walkthroughs to capture what photos can’t
Photos are the backbone of property inspections.
They give us unbiased, time-stamped proof of a property’s condition. We document walls, fixtures, smoke alarms, water sources, and safety features. A strong photo set creates clarity. But after years of inspections, one thing is clear: a photo doesn’t always tell the full story.
Some issues move.
Some issues make noise.
Some issues only appear over time.
And that’s where video becomes powerful.
Where photos fall short
Photos are excellent...
