Maintenance Inspection
Inspection that identifies areas in need of repair or maintenance
What is a Maintenance Inspection?
A Maintenance Inspection is a proactive assessment of a property’s condition, focusing on identifying wear and tear, minor defects, and early signs of deterioration before they become serious or costly. Unlike pre-purchase Comprehensive Home Inspections, which are typically done before buying a property, maintenance inspections are conducted on properties already owned—either by homeowners, landlords, or property managers.
These inspections help maintain the property in good condition, extend its lifespan, and ensure compliance with health and safety standards.
What is the Value of a Maintenance Inspection?
Regular maintenance inspections add long-term value to your property by helping you stay ahead of problems. Small issues like water ingress, cracked tiles, minor leaks, or deteriorating sealants can lead to major repair costs if not addressed early.
A professional inspection gives you an objective view of your home’s current state, allowing you to plan for repairs or maintenance with clarity. This is especially useful for homeowners who want to preserve property value, and for landlords or body corporates looking to manage upkeep systematically and cost-effectively.
