Property Condition Report,
Singapore

A property inspection report (sometimes called a condition report) documents the physical state of a rental property at a specific point in time. We work room by room in a fixed order, combining written notes with timestamped photographs, so there's a clear record of what the property looked like on the day.

Worth knowing: this is different from a defects inspection, which is about new builds and the Defects Liability Period. A rental property inspection report is about establishing a baseline between landlord and tenant. What was already scratched, marked, or worn before you moved in. That is what it puts on record.

The best times are at move-in, at move-out, or both if you're relocating within Singapore. Most tenants and landlords who end up in deposit disputes didn't document the property's condition when it changed hands, and by the time the dispute happens, there's no baseline to refer back to.

A move-out report records what you handed back and in what state. It does not, on its own, show that anything changed during the tenancy: that needs a record of the start as well, which is why both ends is the strongest position.

They can walk the property with you, and many do. The difference is not who is in the room, it is what comes out of it: a record made to a written protocol, room by room in a fixed order, each finding named against the item it sits on, a locator naming which part of it the finding is on, the finding written against the photograph that shows it, and photographs carrying their own date and time.

Who made it matters too. Under clause 5.4 of our terms we warrant that we are not a party to your tenancy and take no fee, commission or referral from any agent, agency or landlord in it, so the record is made independently of the people who might later disagree about it.

Standalone reports start at SGD 230 for properties under 1,000 sqft, with pricing by size up to SGD 390 for 2,500 to 2,999 sqft. At 3,000 sqft and above we price the job individually. Every report includes typically 300 to 700 timestamped photos and a branded PDF delivered within 3 to 5 working days.

3 to 5 working days is our standard turnaround. If anything will make that later, we tell you as soon as we know, which is clause 5.7 of our terms.

The service is also included as standard in every move coordination package. Send us your property address and size via WhatsApp and we'll confirm the exact quote.

Room by room, in a fixed order, with typically 300 to 700 timestamped photographs and written condition notes taken on the day. This includes walls, floors, ceilings, built-in furniture, kitchen and bathroom fittings, appliances, air-conditioning units, windows, doors, and outdoor areas where applicable.

The completed property condition report is organised by room and delivered within 3 to 5 working days of the on-site visit.

Property inspection reports are available for condominiums, HDB flats, and landed properties across Singapore. Scope and pricing vary by property size. For landed properties we confirm details before booking, as the variation in layout and size across different homes makes it worth a quick conversation first.

Particularly so. A deposit dispute is hard enough to deal with when you're still here. Once you've left, it gets considerably more complicated.

A move-out property inspection report gives you a timestamped photographic record of the property's condition at handover, showing what you left and in what state. It puts a date and a state on what these disputes usually turn on. For anyone coordinating an international departure with a deposit still at stake, it's a straightforward thing to sort before you go.
