Safer Home Evaluation for
Offer your lessors a solution to ensure their property meets the new minimum housing standards
The Safer Home Evaluation inspection is designed to meet legislative requirements and goes beyond inspecting the minimum housing standards to include additional observations of high-risk safety hazards.
By conducting this inspection, property managers and lessors can minimize the risk of exposure to potential legal claims and protect the safety of tenants and visitors to the property.
As a property manager, you understand the importance of ensuring that your lessors’ properties meet the new minimum housing standards. However, keeping up with the recent legislative changes can be challenging and time-consuming.
It’s also important to note that the vast majority of property managers and lessors do NOT have the expertise to determine a property’s structural soundness and identify hidden safety hazards when it comes to the minimum housing standards.
Our solution can help
We offer a comprehensive inspection service that ensures the properties you manage meet all legislative requirements and go beyond the minimum standards to include additional high-risk safety hazard observations.
By using our service, you can minimize the risk of exposure to your agency, keep your lessors compliant to the legislation, and protect the safety of their tenants and visitors to the property. We are currently servicing the Gold Coast, Greater Brisbane and Sunshine Coast areas.
