Example of a useful condition note
Instead of “wall damaged”, write “Bedroom 1, wall beside the door: two paint chips, approximately 10 mm each; shown in photos 3 and 4.” Record what you observed, where it is and the matching photo references. Mark an item “not tested” if you did not test it. This is an illustrative example, not an inspection finding.
ConditionHQ helps organise your observations. Check the authority’s current form and instructions for your tenancy; a checklist or software export does not by itself establish legal compliance.
