Property Inspection

Mid-term inspections are a key part of managing rental properties. These inspections help landlords ensure that the property is being well-maintained by the tenants and to address any issues that might arise during the tenancy. Here’s a closer look at mid-term inspections, their benefits, and how to conduct them effectively:



Mid-term inspections are a crucial aspect of rental property management, helping to maintain the property’s value and ensuring a positive experience for both landlords and tenants. Click here to tell us your requirements and to get a free, no obligation quote.

  • What is a Mid-Term Inspection?

    • A mid-term inspection (sometimes called a routine or interim inspection) occurs during an active tenancy, usually at regular intervals like every 3 to 12 months.
    • It involves checking the general condition of the property and ensuring that tenants are adhering to the terms of their lease.
    • It’s a way to identify maintenance needs early, ensuring that minor issues don’t become major repairs.

  • Benefits of Mid-Term Inspections

    • Maintaining Property Condition: Ensures that the property remains in good condition throughout the tenancy.
    • Identifying Unreported Issues: Tenants may not always report issues like small leaks or mould growth, but these can be spotted during an inspection.
    • Ensuring Lease Compliance: Helps confirm that tenants are following the rules of the tenancy agreement (e.g., no smoking inside, no unauthorized pets).
    • Safety Checks: Allows landlords to check smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, and other safety features.
    • Builds Good Tenant Relations: Can provide an opportunity for open communication with tenants, making them feel valued and heard.

  • What to Check During a Mid-Term Inspection

    • General Cleanliness and Upkeep: Look at how well tenants are maintaining the property’s cleanliness and tidiness.
    • Signs of Damage or Neglect: Check for broken fixtures, damage to walls or flooring, leaks, and any signs of potential problems like damp or mould.
    • Safety Features: Test smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, and ensure that any gas appliances look in good condition.
    • Exterior Condition: If the rental includes outdoor space, check the condition of gardens, fences, and any outbuildings.
    • Signs of Unauthorized Tenants or Pets: Confirm that the number of occupants matches the tenancy agreement and that there are no unapproved pets.

  • What we do for Mid-Term Inspections

    • Give Proper Notice: In many regions, including the UK, landlords must provide tenants with at least 24 to 48 hours’ notice before entering the property for an inspection. In the UK, a common practice is to give at least 24 hours written notice.
    • Be Respectful of Privacy: Aim to conduct the inspection at a time that is convenient for the tenant and keep the visit brief.
    • Take Photos (with Permission): Document the condition of the property, especially if there are concerns that might need addressing. Always seek the tenant’s permission before taking photos.
    • Provide Feedback to Tenants: If any issues are identified during the inspection, communicate them clearly to the tenants and discuss a timeline for resolution.
    • Follow Up on Repairs: Ensure that any necessary repairs or maintenance identified during the inspection are addressed promptly. This helps maintain the property’s condition and shows tenants that their well-being is a priority.

  • Frequency of Mid-Term Inspections

    • For new tenancies, a first inspection might be carried out 6 months after the start of the tenancy.
    • Subsequent inspections are often conducted every 6 – 12 months.
    • The frequency can be adjusted based on how well tenants maintain the property—less frequent inspections might be warranted if tenants have proven to be reliable.

  • Preparing for a Mid-Term Inspection

    • Review the Tenancy Agreement: Refresh your memory on any specific clauses that might impact the inspection.
    • Communicate Clearly with Tenants: Let them know what will be checked and give them time to prepare.
    • Use a Checklist: This ensures you don’t miss anything during the inspection and allows for consistent reporting across different properties.
