Creating a Maintenance Checklist Post-Inspection

Whoever said that owning property is as easy as a kangaroo’s jump, mustn't have experienced the real tucker! It's not merely about buying and selling, mate; it's about maintaining. And if there's one tool that can make this less daunting, it's our mate 'Maintenance Checklist'!

Introduction

Now, creating a maintenance checklist post-inspection can be similar to facing a crocodile: Slightly intimidating, but manageable if you understand it right. So, relax, grab a cuppa, maybe a Tim Tam too, and let's break it down together!

Conducting a Comprehensive Inspection

Before anything else, a thorough inspection is in order. It’s about discovering and addressing any potential hike in the road, from a tiny wall crack to substantial structural damage. Post-inspection, these findings should go straight onto your maintenance checklist.

Creating a Maintenance Checklist Post-Inspection

Okay, so you've your inspection report in hand. What’s next? Creating an easy-to-follow maintenance checklist, of course! What's more, it's achievable with just a few manageable steps:

  • Understand the inspection report: Get familiar with the ins and outs of the inspection report. It might initially seem like a bunch of jargon but understanding it is key to creating a knockout maintenance checklist.
  • Identify immediate concerns: Look for overlying issues that require immediate attention. Chances are, you wouldn't want a leaking roof to cause any more trouble, would you? Prioritize them at the top of your list.
  • Pick out minor issues: Don’t shrug off minor cracks or peeling paint just yet. Small issues can become big headaches if left unattended. Make sure they're marked for action on your checklist.

Adding Some Extra Oomph!

Remember, every property is unique, like a snowflake in the outback. To make your checklist truly substantial, add additional sections like monthly, seasonal and annual maintenance tasks.
