Pre-Rental
Property Preparation
Melbourne.
Inspected, fixed and ready to lease. One contact for every trade.
Before a property can be leased in Victoria, it must meet the rental minimum standards. And between tenants, every week it sits empty costs you rent.
We inspect the property against the minimum standards and give you a clear report. Then we quote every fix in one place and book and manage the trades: cleaning, repairs, painting, flooring, gardens and licensed safety checks.
One contact, one timeline, and a rental that's presented well and ready to lease fast.
Why Do a
Pre-Rental Inspection?
Many compliance reports fail because of simple issues like:
• Missing window coverings
• Incorrect shower heads
• Non-functional exhaust fans
• Broken door locks
• Heating not working
• Safety hazards or minor damage
Our inspection helps catch these before the formal compliance check, giving you time to resolve them properly.

Detailed Property Preparation Report
After the inspection you’ll receive a clear report outlining:
• Potential issues that could cause a compliance failure
• Recommended maintenance or repairs
• Preparation steps before the official inspection
This helps ensure the property is fully prepared for minimum standards checks in Victoria.
We Can Help Fix the Issues Too
No chasing five different trades. We quote every fix in one place, then book and manage it all:
• Cleaning, including end-of-lease standard
• Patch and paint, carpet and floor refresh
• Repairs: locks, fly screens, tap washers, blind cords, exhaust fans and shower heads
• Gardens and exterior tidy
• Licensed electricians, gasfitters and plumbers for safety checks, smoke alarms and repairs. They issue their own reports and certificates, and we make sure the paperwork comes back to you.
A final walkthrough before handover means the property is clean, working and ready for the agent's photos and entry condition report.

Common Questions
Do you issue the compliance certificates yourselves?
No. Gas and electrical safety checks must be done by licensed trades, and they issue the reports and certificates. We book them, manage access and make sure the paperwork comes back to you.
How quickly can you turn a rental around?
It depends on the scope, but most changeovers take days, not weeks. You'll get a timeline with your quote, worked back from your leasing date.
Can you work with my property manager?
Yes. We coordinate directly with agents and property managers and keep everyone updated with photos as each job is done.
Do I need to be there?
No. Many of our landlords are interstate or overseas. We manage access and send photo updates.
