Subdivided Flat Compliance Assessment

An Authorized Person team conducts an on-site inspection of your unit, providing a comprehensive written assessment report within 72 hours.

This is the essential basis for landlords to decide whether to proceed with the full compliance service. We will not ask you to sign any contract on the day of inspection — once you receive the report, you are free to decide your next steps, including engaging a different service provider.

Service Details

One inspection, four professional assessments

01

Structural Assessment

A registered structural engineer inspects load-bearing walls, floor slabs, and partition modifications for compliance, confirming the structural safety of the subdivided unit.

02

Fire Safety Assessment

Evaluation of fire/smoke doors, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and escape routes. Confirms whether a Fire Services Department FS251 application is required.

30-Minute Report Walkthrough

The Authorized Person will walk you through the full report (via video call or in person), item by item, and answer your questions.

Common questions about compliance assessment

Why is there a fee for the inspection?

An Authorized Person's time and professional judgement carry a real cost. We charge a fee to guarantee the professionalism and objectivity of the assessment — we will not give an overly optimistic verdict simply to "win the contract." This fee is fully deductible upon signing.

Am I obliged to proceed with the full service after the assessment?

No. The report is yours to keep. You may take it to another service provider, or choose not to act on it at all. We will not pressure you to proceed to the next stage.

Will I still be charged if the unit cannot obtain certification?

Yes, because the Authorized Person has already completed a professional assessment. However, we will try to clarify suitability during the initial WhatsApp consultation — if a unit is clearly not certifiable, we will tell you upfront to avoid unnecessary inspection costs.

Does the landlord need to be present during the inspection?

No. You may authorise a building manager or tenant to accompany the inspector. Cross-border landlords can participate via video conference.
