Room overview

Begin at the doorway. Show the layout, floor, walls and ceiling. Continue clockwise so gaps are easier to notice during review.

Openings and fixtures

Include doors, handles, locks, windows, frames, coverings, lights and fixed storage. Record visible condition only. A photo record is not a substitute for a qualified safety inspection.

Wet areas and appliances

In kitchens, bathrooms and laundries, show surfaces, cupboards, sinks, taps and supplied appliances. Note visible chips, staining, loose parts or failed seals, and report repair issues through the proper tenancy channel.

Review the set

Look for blurry images, close-ups without room context and selected rooms with no photographs. A smaller complete set is usually easier to understand than a large unlabelled camera roll.

Build your record one room at a time.

Photograph, add a short note and continue when you are ready.
