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 Whether it’s an archived property or one that’s no longer active, we’ve got you covered with this step-by-step guide.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.

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

Step 2 - Permanently delete the property


  1. Return to the app’s front page
  2. Press the three dots next to “My Properties”
  3. Select “View Archived”
  4. Find the property you just archived
  5. Press the three dots again next to the property
  6. 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:

  1. Log In to Your Account - Start by logging into your myInspections account on the web dashboard.
  2. 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.
  3. Find the Property You Want to Delete - Scroll through your list or use the search bar to locate the property you wish to remove.
  4. Select the Delete Option
    • Click the three-dot menu (options icon) next to the property’s name.
    • From the dropdown menu, select Delete.
  5. 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.

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.

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 We exp...

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...
