Added: (Wed May 08 2019)

Pressbox (Press Release) - Annual Inspections NSW is not new to the property managers or landlords in the real estate sector. These kinds of inspections are designed for documenting the situation of a property during the inspection and identifying any kind of malfunctions or inconsistencies. In most of the countries these activities are considered mandatory under the Tenant Protection regulation act and generally contribute to well-kept properties, a reduction in the capital expenses and happy residents.
Building inspection is basically a part of the preventive maintenance scheme and it’s generally performed by the maintenance team, the superintendent and sometimes in case of the specialised and structure needs of a consultant or engineer. A thorough inspection of the property would cover all the major areas and it’s divided typically into 5 main categories:

Structure of the property
Roof- inspect for leakages, debris, gutters, and downspouts and clogged drains, any damages to the membrane and all the other abnormalities
Building envelope- you should inspect for loose particles, moisture intrusion, and deterioration
Foundation- you should inspect for cracks, concrete deficiencies, etc.

Mechanical system
• Electric system- you should inspect for the fried wiring, burned breakers, corrosion, overheating, missing breakers
• Mechanical system- you should inspect for the operating efficiency, performance, rust, corrosion and fuel supply leakages
• Cooling and heating systems- the operating efficiency, fluid levels, leakages, vibrations and noise should also be checked

Building internal
• Attic- check for damaged vents, debris, roof, ceiling rot, wet spots, etc.
• Basement- check the floor, walls, switches and outlets and smoke detectors
• Stairway- check the hand railing and stairs for damages, staircase lights
• Individual units- check for lighting, kitchen, bathroom, switches and outlets, doors, etc.
• Laundry room- check the doors, windows, lighting, outlets, dryer vents, etc.
• Public areas- the damaged outlets, flooring retaining walls, doors, Fire Dampers NSW, lighting and windows

Ground
• Site of the property- check for grounds, fencing, play areas, mailboxes, lighting, storm drainage, parking lot, driveway, walkway, etc.
• Supplementary buildings- appeal and functionality

Safety

Fire system- check for the missing heads of sprinkler, inspect the fire extinguishers for any damage and the expiry date
Communication system- tests the speaker system of the building, perform drill, and test the emergency power system
Emergency processes- review the action plan for training of the staff for emergency responses and also revise them accordingly

Being organised properly is very crucial for effective Annual Inspections NSW. The policy of the company should communicate the requirements clearly and have a control mechanism for avoiding any type of confusion, procrastination and late deadlines. The primary categories of inspection could be revised for including or excluding the items and maybe utilised for quarterly and monthly inspections.
Since annual inspection is an important part of the profitable assets management system it should be exercised with seriousness and due diligence. The flow of cash of property should be affected easily by the repairing expenses which could’ve been foreseen easily and also avoided when regular property inspection were to be performed.
Even though property inspection isn’t one medicine for all diseases it’s the main step for proactive management and may help on saving building owners.
