Property Inspections
At A2B2U Property Services, our property inspections are a proactive way to keep your investment in top condition. We conduct thorough visual and functional assessments across all major areas of the property including communal spaces, exterior structure, appliances, plumbing, and electrics.
These inspections are essential for identifying early signs of damage, wear and tear, or non-compliance. Detailed reports with photographic documentation are provided after each inspection, outlining urgent actions, preventative maintenance recommendations, and compliance checks, particularly important for HMO properties. Whether you need periodic inspections or pre/post-tenancy checks, our goal is to keep your property compliant, safe, and tenant-ready.
Our inspections are fully customisable depending on property type, occupancy, and regulatory requirements. For landlords managing multiple properties, we offer scheduled rolling inspections to ensure standards are met year-round without disrupting tenant routines. A typical inspection covers over 50 specific checkpoints, including:
Visual checks for damp, mould, leaks, or cracks in walls and ceilings
Appliance condition and functioning (e.g. fridges, ovens, boilers)
Door locks, windows, handles, and latches for safety and security
Smoke and carbon monoxide detector functionality
Bathroom and kitchen hygiene, ventilation, and plumbing
Fire exits, signage, and emergency lighting for HMOs
Each inspection concludes with a summary report categorising any findings by urgency: immediate action, planned maintenance, or long-term consideration.
Case Study: Preventing Major Water Damage
In one of our managed HMOs in the West Midlands, a routine inspection revealed damp patches behind a wardrobe in a rarely-used spare room. Upon further investigation, it was traced back to a slow, hidden leak from a neighbouring shower unit. Our early detection allowed the landlord to resolve the issue with a minor repair and dehumidification—avoiding what would have become thousands of pounds in water damage, structural rot, and tenant complaints.
Whether you need periodic inspections or pre/post-tenancy checks, our goal is to keep your West Midlands property compliant, safe, and tenant-ready—while saving you time, money, and hassle.
