Learn how interior inspections document room condition, damages, occupancy signs, utilities, and required interior photos.
An interior inspection documents the visible condition inside a property when interior access is allowed or required.
The inspector reports the condition of each accessible room, visible damages, utilities, debris or personal property left behind, signs of vacancy, safety concerns, and any special client instructions.
Interior inspectors document the visible condition of the inside of the property.
The inspector should report what is visible in each accessible room, follow the order instructions, and avoid guessing about damage causes or conditions that cannot be confirmed.
Interior photos show the client the visible condition inside the property at the time of inspection.
Good interior photos help support room condition comments, damage notes, utility observations, debris concerns, safety issues, and any required client documentation.
Interior inspection orders may include specific room-by-room requirements. Always read the order instructions before taking photos or submitting the report.
If the order asks for specific rooms, utility photos, damage comments, debris notes, safety concerns, or condition details, complete those items exactly as requested.
Interior inspection orders require separate photos of each accessible room. Always read the work order before taking photos or submitting the report.
Required interior photos commonly include the kitchen, living room, dining room, bathrooms, bedrooms, utility areas, closets when required, dens, hallways, and any other accessible interior areas requested by the client.
Interior properties may have low light levels. Use the phone flash when needed so each room photo is clear and usable.
