BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT
Changes to the finish recorded during handover
Marks on the finish recorded during handover are an observation, not a confirmed explanation of the moisture source. Bring the available history and describe what is currently visible.
Visible marks
Show the finish recorded during handover and adjoining clear finishes in the same wider photograph.
A change in smell
Explain when the room smells different and whether that coincides with a visible change.
Droplets or wetness
Distinguish water you have actually seen from an assumption prompted by a stain.
A spreading stain
Compare dated photographs of the finish recorded during handover where available; explain expansion, fading or a changed outline.
Repeat dampness
Note when wetness returns, the room activities around it and any known water event.
Earlier cleaning
Describe any wiping of the finish recorded during handover and how the finish appeared afterwards.
READ THE ROOM
Understand the moisture history, not just the entry authority
Provide dated photographs and explain who can authorise entry and subsequent work. Also note whether the room was aired, heated or unused before a reading; humidity at one moment does not describe its whole history.
For the finish recorded during handover, the inspection service is a starting point for accessible observations. Continuing water entry or failing materials may need separate investigation or repair. A visible inspection cannot provide clearance for areas concealed behind the finish.
OBSERVE · MEASURE · DISCUSS
An agreed inspection sequence
An inspection suited to the Wantirna enquiry
Agree visible access before assessing marks on the finish recorded during handover.
Accessible surfaces
For the finish recorded during handover, visible growth, extent and accessible surface condition are considered. Concealed cavities and fixed obstructions remain outside these observations.
Humidity and moisture information
A professional hygrometer contributes room-air relative-humidity information alongside observations of the finish recorded during handover. Explain the relevant room history; a reading does not identify every water source.
Decisions within scope
For the finish recorded during handover, distinguish surface concerns from damage needing another trade. Ask what observations will be supplied afterwards; laboratory analysis and a particular written report are not assumed inclusions.
01
Describe the change
Tell us when marks first appeared on the finish recorded during handover and what changed afterwards.
02
Agree safe access
Confirm the rooms, authorised entry and anything obstructing a view of the finish recorded during handover.
03
Consider the observations
Consider the visible condition and hygrometer information alongside entry authority.
04
Separate the next tasks
Discuss whether the affected finish needs treatment, monitoring or advice from a repair trade.
Rooms and surfaces to consider
Bathroom
Describe shower use and any visible changes around the enclosure.
Bedroom
Identify furniture or curtains obscuring bedroom walls.
Kitchen
Mention kitchen leaks, appliance positions and accessible cupboard finishes.
Walls and ceilings
Include adjoining walls and ceiling edges in wider photographs.
CONDITIONS, NOT ASSUMPTIONS
Keep inspection and treatment decisions separate
Treatment of the finish recorded during handover is separate from inspection. Agree scope, material limitations and preparation before authorising mould removal; the appointment price does not include that work.
If dampness continues around the finish recorded during handover, discuss water entry or damaged materials with the appropriate trade. Remediation has a separate scope; future growth cannot be ruled out by inspection.

Questions before your inspection
Who should authorise entry during a rental handover?
Confirm the authorised contact and current occupancy. A handover appointment does not itself grant permission to enter every room or arrange subsequent treatment.
Which dates should handover photographs include?
Keep the date taken and explain whether images show entry, exit or another inspection. That record helps distinguish current conditions from earlier observations.
Can the inspection decide who caused the mould?
The enquiry considers accessible conditions and moisture information. Do not assume it provides a determination of liability or resolves a tenancy disagreement.
Should previous cleaning at handover be disclosed?
Describe the area cleaned, approximate date and later visible changes. This helps explain the surface condition without treating cleaning as proof of a resolved cause.
Is a formal tenancy report included?
Ask what observations will be supplied. Do not assume a particular written report, legal opinion or laboratory document is included in the reference inspection appointment.
Can treatment be booked under the same permission?
Confirm separate authority for treatment and its scope. Permission to observe a property does not automatically authorise removal, repairs or disposal of belongings.
