Property Inspection Consultant

We have an exciting opportunity for a Property Inspection Consultant to join a busy and well established ResidentialLettings department in Chelmsford Essex.

The successful candidates who fulfil this varied role will spend much of each working day visiting properties to undertake various tasks which include the production of condition inspections to ensure they remain in good condition, produce reports to evidence and dispatch to the relevant Landlord.

Property Inspection Consultant Package:

• Basic Full Time Salary of between £28,000 - £30,000pa depending on relevant experience.
• Plus Bonuses and end of year profit share
• Realistic OTE £30,000 - £32,000 pa

Hours of Work:

Working between 9:00am - 5.00pm Monday to Friday.

Holidays:

21 days plus Bank Holidays. Annual entitlement increases in line with length of service.

Property Inspection Consultant duties will include:

• Via bespoke software held on an iPad, compile detailed reports which record the overall condition of a property prior to any tenants moving in.
• Re-visiting the properties midway through an active tenancy to check on the condition, produce a brief report and then dispatch this to the relevant landlord concerned. Discussing with the tenants in occupation any maintenance-based issues that may be evident.
• Where relevant, liaising with our Property Managers to ensure maintenance based issues are resolved.
• If the property is not being maintained to an acceptable condition you will discuss this with the tenants whilst at the property and put a simple plan in place with them to improve the situation.
• Inspecting the property prior to the end of a tenancy to produce a 'check out' report which will again record the general condition of the property at that time just prior to the tenants moving out.
• At the end of a tenancy mediate between landlord and tenants regarding any maintenance considered to be beyond fair wear and tear and attempt to agree on a suitable amount of money that the tenants are to contribute to putting things right. Once agreed relevant funds would be deducted from the initial deposit that the tenants lodged with the Company prior to moving in.
• Where issues are evident at the end of a tenancy, but the landlord and tenants fail to agree on a mutually acceptable compromise, the Property Inspection Consultant prepares all relevant paperwork and sends this to an independent adjudicator who will decide what if anything should be deducted from the tenants' original deposit.
