Running Audits
Starting an audit
- From the home screen, choose the audit type you need to carry out and click Start Audit.
- Choose one of your own saved properties, or enter a new property address. Your records are private to your account β no other user can see them.
- Work through the form. Required fields are marked with a red asterisk (*). You can save your progress at any time (see Saving drafts).
- Once complete, click Submit Assessment. A PDF report is generated and emailed to you automatically.
Using on mobile
Tenant Audits is designed to work on smartphones and tablets as well as desktop computers. All audit forms are mobile-optimised.
- Add Tenant Audits to your home screen for a faster, app-like experience β use "Add to Home Screen" in your browser's share/menu.
- When adding photos, tap the camera icon to take a photo directly with your device's camera, or choose from your gallery.
- Forms auto-save your progress every 30 seconds, so you won't lose work if you switch apps or your screen locks.
- On slow connections, progress is saved locally and synced when connectivity returns.
Saving drafts
Your work is automatically saved as you go β you don't need to do anything special. Here's how it works:
- Drafts are saved to the server every 30 seconds and whenever you make a change.
- A small status pill appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen confirming when your draft was last saved (e.g. "Draft saved 14:32").
- You can also click the Save Draft button in the top navigation bar to save immediately. The button briefly turns green and shows β Saved to confirm the save completed.
- Drafts are tied to your account, not your device β you can start an audit on your phone and continue on a desktop computer, or vice versa.
- When you next visit the home screen, any in-progress audits will be shown as a reminder. Click Resume to continue where you left off.
- Submitting an audit automatically clears the draft for that assessment.
Submitting & downloading reports
When you're ready to finalise an audit:
- Review your answers and scroll to the bottom of the form.
- Click Submit Assessment. A progress bar shows the upload and report generation stages.
- Once complete, you're taken to a confirmation page with a Download PDF button.
- The PDF report is also emailed to the address on your account automatically.
- You can reset your own password at any time from the sign-in page.
To access past reports, go to My Reports in the navigation menu. Download links are valid for 24 hours; if yours has expired, visit My Reports to generate a fresh link.
Audit Types
π₯ Fire Risk Assessment
Category: Fire Safety
A comprehensive assessment of fire hazards, means of escape, and existing fire safety measures at a property. Structured around standardised questions covering:
- Ignition sources and fuel loads
- Means of escape β doors, corridors, signage
- Fire detection and alarm systems
- Fire suppression equipment (extinguishers, blankets)
- Emergency lighting and evacuation procedures
- Maintenance and management records
Each question uses clear pass/fail/NΒ·A response buttons. Questions with conditional follow-ups reveal additional detail fields automatically. Your answers are automatically saved as you work.
π§ Legionella Risk Assessment
Category: Fire Safety / Water Safety
Assesses the risk of Legionella bacteria in a property's water systems. Covers:
- Cold and hot water storage and distribution systems
- Water temperature checks and control measures
- Risk of water stagnation and dead-legs
- Showerheads, taps, and other outlets
- Maintenance records and responsible persons
Uses the same question-based format as the Fire Risk Assessment, with conditional questions revealing relevant follow-up fields.
π Fire Alarm Weekly Check
Category: Fire Safety
A quick weekly record of fire alarm testing at a property. Designed for completion in under two minutes. Captures:
- Date and time of the test
- Call point reference tested
- Whether the correct zone triggered on the panel
- Whether audible alarms sounded across the building
- Visual inspection of call points and signage
- Any defects identified and actions taken
No room-by-room navigation β this is a single-page form for fast weekly completion.
π Void Check
Category: Property Management
A post-tenancy condition check carried out when a property becomes vacant. Records the condition of every room and captures utility meter readings. Key areas:
- Select the rooms present in the property (standard rooms + custom rooms)
- Per-room: items to remove, decoration required, repairs needed (with photos)
- Electric and gas meter readings (serial number, type, credit if prepayment)
- Central heating type and CO alarm presence
- Property front photo
Custom rooms can be added for any non-standard space (e.g. "Conservatory", "Office"). Each repair can have a description, assigned contractor, and photo.
β Compliance Check
Category: Property Management
A full room-by-room compliance inspection covering safety and condition across a tenanted or vacant property. Each room is assessed for:
- Floor level, smoke alarm, window restrictors, fire door and latches
- Lighting, blinds/curtains, and decoration
- Room-specific checks (bathroom: toilet, sink, shower; kitchen: cooker, hob, extractor; cellar: fire boarding)
- Per-room photographs
A Remedials section at the end of the form lets you log any required works, including location, action needed, and contractor type. Remedials appear as a summary table in the PDF report.
π Pre-Tenant Inspection
Category: Property Management
Carried out before a new tenant moves in. Similar structure to the Compliance Check but without contractor fields, and includes meter credit readings. Covers:
- Room-by-room condition checks (same fields as Compliance Check)
- Boiler, CO alarm, and thermostat checks
- Electric/gas meter type and credit at handover
- Remedials list (location, issue, action β no contractor)
π New Property Record
Category: Property Management
An initial inspection record created when a property is first added to your portfolio. Provides a permanent baseline condition record. Includes:
- Full room-by-room condition assessment with photographs
- Electric and gas meter serial numbers and types
- Boiler make/model, CO alarm, and thermostat details
- Door checks throughout the property
Unlike the Compliance Check, this module has no remedials section β it is a record only.

- Reset your own password any time from the sign-in page β we'll email you a secure link.
