Frequently asked questions
Who carries out a property defect inspection?
Homebuyers inspecting a new build, professional inspectors, landlords and agents documenting a property's condition, and builders at handover. The same room-by-room, photo-per-item workflow suits all of them.
What's the difference between a property defect inspection and a building inspection?
A pre-purchase or building inspection assesses condition and value; a property defect inspection lists the specific defects and unfinished work a builder needs to fix. Plenty of buyers do both on a new home.
Can I do a property defect inspection on my phone?
Yes. Walk each room, photograph every issue, record its location and trade, and export the PDF on site, with no laptop required. It's faster than clipboard-and-camera and the report is ready straight away.
Does property defect inspection work for rentals and condition reports too?
Yes. The same photo-backed item structure works for entry and exit condition reports and rental records, giving landlords and tenants a dated, defensible record.
How do I share the property defect report?
Generate the PDF and send it from the iOS share sheet by email, Messages, or AirDrop. Pro unlocks clean branded PDFs and iCloud sync, and the recipient doesn't need the app to read it.
