How to Use Photos to Enhance Your Condition Reports

For a smooth, hassle-free tenancy, it is necessary to have a well-documented condition report. Whilst detailed descriptions are critical, incorporating high-resolution pictures can truly augment the accuracy and clarity of your report and help avoid future landlord-tenant disputes.

Reports2Go understands the need for photographic evidence. That is why we give our users the convenience of clicking and uploading photos with utmost ease and easily inserting them into their condition report. This does not only conserve time and energy but also proves valuable and is documented evidence of the condition of the property.

For you to efficiently make use of photos, consider this:

  • Capture everything: Photograph every single room in the property, including the walls, floors, ceiling, windows, and doors. Do not forget a close-up shot of pre-existing wear and tear around any scratches, stains, or dents.

  • Record small problems: Even small issues, like loose hinges or flaking paint, should be documented with photos. This is for the avoidance of disputes when the actual repairs are necessary and ensure that the right repairs are done on time. Reports2Go lets you tag photos to point out specifics.

  • Capture the true state of appliances such as the oven, dishwasher, and washing machine to see if they are working or not. It is very helpful for identifying problems that already exist or are worn out before your move.

  • Timestamp your images: Ensure that all photos are time-stamped to provide an accurate record of when the inspection was conducted.

  • Organize your media: Create a clear and organised system for storing and accessing your photos. Reports2Go makes this easy with our intuitive platform, allowing you to easily link media files to specific sections of your report.

  • Ensure you have access to the high-resolution originals in case they are required for an adjudication. Reports2Go saves your originals in our cloud storage.

  • Allow tenants to update a report with visual evidence, within a few days of moving-in, in case anything has been missed out. It re-assures all that the process is transparent.
By adding high-quality photos to your condition reports, you can:

  • Improve clarity and accuracy: Visual evidence will be a better and more accurate record of the property's condition.

  • Reduce disputes: Clear documentation will help to avoid possible disputes between landlords and tenants about the condition of the property.

  • Facilitate inspection: Capturing the visual evidence on-site can save you time and effort in compiling your report later.
