The first step in our annual rental property inspections involves a comprehensive exterior evaluation of the property. This process includes looking for any indications of damage, such as foundation cracks, missing roof tiles, or overgrown landscaping. We also assess the state of the driveway, walkways, and any outdoor structures like sheds or fences. By detecting and resolving any exterior issues, we can prevent further deterioration and maintain a secure environment for tenants.
Once the exterior inspection is complete, we proceed with a comprehensive interior inspection of the rental property. This involves looking for indicators of water damage, mold, or pest infestations. Additionally, we examine all appliances, plumbing fixtures, and electrical systems to confirm they are in proper working order. Early detection of any maintenance issues allows us to resolve them quickly, preventing costly repairs in the future.
One of the key elements of our annual rental property inspections is evaluating the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Maintaining the HVAC system properly is crucial for ensuring a comfortable living space for tenants and avoiding expensive repairs. As part of our inspections, we examine filters, ductwork, and the overall performance of the system to ensure it operates efficiently.
At VPMG Property Management, tenant safety is our utmost priority. As part of our commitment, we perform a comprehensive safety inspection during our annual rental property reviews. This process involves checking the functionality of smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, and other crucial safety devices. Additionally, we assess staircases, railings, and other potential hazards to prevent accidents and ensure a secure living environment for our tenants.
After finishing our yearly rental property inspections, we deliver comprehensive documentation and reports to homeowners regarding the state of their property. This package includes photographs of any issues identified during the inspection, along with suggestions for maintenance or repairs. By keeping homeowners updated on the condition of their rental property, we enable them to make well-informed choices about maintaining their investment.
