This Void Pre-inspection Form with SOR helps housing and property teams assess a vacant property before re-letting. Record site details and meter readings, note if a lock change is required, and create a room-by-room list of works using SOR (Schedule of Rates) items. Sections cover hall/stairs/landing, kitchen, living and dining rooms, bedrooms, bathroom, loft, and external areas such as gardens and sheds. Typical tasks include window and door repairs, plaster and paint touch-ups, flooring, cleaning to lettable standards, waste clearance, and basic electrical or plumbing fixture replacements. The checklist supports clear scoping and faster work ordering.

Void Property Inspection and Schedule of Works
This template supports housing and facilities teams in assessing void or vacant properties and planning remedial works before reoccupation. It guides inspectors to confirm the presence of electric and gas meters, evaluate the condition of electrical installations, identify the heating system type, and check front door condition and locks. Room by room, it prompts a repairs schedule for living areas, hallway, kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, gardens, and other spaces, with space to add photos and notes. Use it to document issues, prioritize repairs, and ensure properties are safe, compliant, and ready for re-letting.
