What a Rental Inspection Covers
We inspect the fixed electrical installation of the property, the switchboard, wiring, outlets, light fittings, and any hardwired appliances. We check for visible defects, non-compliant work, missing or inadequate earthing, and the presence and condition of RCDs on power and lighting circuits.
We test each safety switch to confirm it trips within the required time, check the condition of the switchboard, and visually inspect accessible wiring and fittings throughout the property. Where defects are found, we document them in a written report with photographs.
Smoke Alarm Compliance
Victorian rental properties must have compliant smoke alarms, correctly positioned, of the correct type (photoelectric), in working order, and tested. We check and test alarms as part of the inspection and can replace non-compliant alarms in the same visit.
Who Uses This Service
Landlords preparing a property for a new tenancy, or wanting assurance that the electrical installation is safe before a tenant moves in.
Property managers fulfilling their duty of care obligations and maintaining compliance records.
Buyers conducting pre-purchase due diligence on a property before settlement, a building inspection covers structure, but the electrical installation requires a licensed electrician to assess properly.
Written Report
Every inspection results in a written report documenting what was inspected, what was found, any defects noted, and recommended rectification. The report is suitable for inclusion in your compliance records or for presentation to a landlord, tenant, or conveyancer.
Rectification Work
Where defects are found that require repair, we quote the rectification work separately. In most cases straightforward repairs, replacing a faulty outlet, adding a missing RCD, replacing a non-compliant fitting, can be completed in the same visit.
