Fox Rental Inspections
What types of inspections do you offer?
We cover all key stages of remote property management with practical, on-site visual inspections.
For tenanted properties, we conduct routine visual inspections and tenancy transition checks, with move-in and exit audits designed to set a clear baseline of the home’s condition. We also perform routine visits for vacant homes to help ensure your property remains compliant for insurance.
And if you need extra help on-site, you can easily package lawn care or light turnover cleaning alongside any inspection service
How often should inspections be scheduled?
Inspection frequencies vary depending on your insurer, policy terms, and whether the home is tenanted or vacant. Whether you need regular periodic checks, tenancy transition audits, or routine vacant property visits, we can set up a recurring schedule that fits your property's needs.and insurance requirements.
If I am local, do you do initial site visits?Â
Yes. We are happy to arrange an initial meet-and-greet to discuss your property, walk through your requirements, and answer any questions face-to-face. We can meet directly on-site or at another convenient location that suits you best to provide a no-obligation quote before any work begins.
How do you collect keys if I'm out of town?
For tenanted properties, we coordinate access directly with your tenants and manage the required notice periods to make the process completely hassle-free. For vacant home checks or tenancy transitions, keys can be collected locally from your solicitor or an authorised representative, or couriered with a tracking number.
