Step-by-Step Guide: Your First Property Condition Report with Check-Immo

Here is a detailed guide to assist you in your first experience with Check-Immo. Follow these simple steps and you will be surprised how easily you can create a complete and professional property condition report.

Step 1: Download and Install the Check-Immo App

The first step is to download Check-Immo on your mobile device. The application is compatible with iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Android operating systems. You can easily find it on the App Store or Google Play Store.

Once the application is installed, launch it and create an account. Registration is quick and easy. You can then purchase credits individually, according to your needs, without any subscription commitment. This is ideal for first-time use or if you only carry out a few property condition reports per year.

Step 2: Create Your Property Condition Report File

After logging in, you can create a new property condition report file. The application will ask you to enter information about the property concerned:

• Full address of the property (street, number, postal code, city)
• Property area (in m²)
• Type of property (apartment, house, studio...)

You will also need to add the information of the parties involved:

• Name and contact details of the tenant
• Name and contact details of the landlord
• An agent, i.e. the person who performs the property condition report

The interface is designed to be intuitive, with clear fields and simple instructions. You don't need to be an expert to fill in this information.

Step 3: Detail the Rooms and Component Elements

This is the most important step: the detailed description of the condition of the property. Check-Immo guides you step-by-step by prompting you to choose the rooms one by one (living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, etc.).

For each room, you will then need to detail the different elements:

• Walls (condition, cracks, holes, paint...)
• Ceilings (condition, stains, cracks...)
• Floors (type of covering, wear, scratches...)
• Doors (condition, operation, locks...)
• Windows (condition, glass, frames, seals...)
• Equipment (radiators, electrical outlets, switches...)

Check-Immo uses a system of clear and precise checklists to help you not forget anything. You can also customize the elements to be inspected according to the specific characteristics of the property.

Step 4: Use Voice Recognition to Add Your Remarks

One of the most practical features of Check-Immo is voice recognition. Instead of typing your remarks, you can simply dictate them!

Thanks to the integrated artificial intelligence, the application automatically transcribes your voice into text. For example, you can say: "The wall has a crack of 40 cm," and Check-Immo will write this sentence in the description of the element concerned.

This feature is a real time saver, especially if you are not comfortable with the touch keyboard or if you have a lot of details to describe.

Step 5: Illustrate Your Observations with Photos

A picture is worth a thousand words! Check-Immo allows you to take photos directly from the application and associate them with the elements you describe.

Just one click is enough to take a photo and integrate it into the report. The image will be automatically placed in the correct section, without additional manipulation. This is very practical for illustrating defects, damage or peculiarities of the property.

Tip: Take clear and well-lit photos so that the details are visible.

Step 6: Record Meter Readings and Sign Electronically

Don't forget to record the meter readings (electricity, water, gas) and indicate the indexes in the application. You can also take a photo of the meters to keep a visual record.

Once you have completed the description of the property, both parties (tenant and landlord) must sign the property condition report. Check-Immo offers an electronic signature directly on the screen of the tablet or smartphone. It's simple, fast and legally valid.

Step 7: Generate and Send the PDF Report

The last step is to generate the PDF report. Check-Immo creates a clear, structured and time-stamped document, which includes all the information you have entered:

• General information about the property
• Detailed description of each room and its elements
• Remarks and observations
• Illustrative photos
• Meter readings
• Signatures of the parties

You can then send the report by email in one click. The document is also saved in your Check-Immo account, which allows you to retrieve it at any time, for example for the exit inventory.

Conclusion

Doing a property condition report with Check-Immo is simple, fast and accessible to all. You don't need to be a real estate expert or a seasoned computer scientist. The application was designed to guide you at each step and make your task easier.

So don't wait any longer! Download Check-Immo today and discover the peace of mind of a job well done. Simplify the management of your properties in Belgium and save valuable time.
