Create property

Creating a new property is the first step to being able to generate a report. You do this via the button at the bottom right of the properties page.

Opening "Add property"

  1. Go to the Properties overview.
  2. Click at the bottom right.

A popup opens in which you can enter the property's details.

Basic details

When creating a property you provide at least a name.

  • Name: the title of the property, for example an address or recognizable label
  • Description: optional, a general description of the property

Property description

The description is meant to provide general context about the property. Think of the layout, the floor of an apartment, info about a garage box, or other things that aren't always clear from the photos alone.

The AI model takes this description into account when generating the report. A good, concise description of the property helps produce a more accurate and better-structured report.

Examples of a useful description:

  • "Apartment on the second floor, with a terrace and separate garage box in the basement."
  • "Renovated terraced house with three bedrooms and a finished attic."

Inspection type

When creating, you also choose the inspection type. This helps determine how the property is handled and what kind of report you create later.

  • Rental move-in: a move-in inspection at the start of a lease. From a move-in you can later easily create a move-out.
  • Works / structural: an inspection at the start of works.
  • Other: for all other situations.
You can change the type later via Manage propertyGeneral. The move-out option is not a separate type when creating: a move-out always originates from an existing move-in.

More options

Via the More options button you can open extra settings for the property. These settings are optional.

Surface grouping

With surface grouping you determine how photos within a room are organized in the report. You can choose not to group photos, or to group them manually per surface, such as walls, floor and ceiling.

By default the global setting from your profile is used. You can change it here for this specific property.

When you don't use grouping, you can upload all photos of a room at once. The AI model analyzes the images automatically and can correctly distinguish what belongs to which wall, floor or ceiling.

For most users and situations, surface grouping is not needed. The AI model can handle this automatically and accurately.

You can also choose to group photos manually per surface, for example by:

  • Wall 1–4 / Floor / Ceiling
  • Wall North–East–South–West / Floor / Ceiling

When you activate grouping, you must also upload all photos per chosen surface. This means you perform several uploads per room, each explicitly linked to a wall or zone.

Surface grouping requires more manual actions and slows down the input process. You have to decide yourself which surface each photo belongs to.

Hiding default rooms

By default, a new property automatically gets two rooms:

  • Meter readings: for photos of the meter readings
  • Keys: for photos of the keys to be handed over

By ticking Hide default rooms, these rooms are not created automatically.

You can always add or delete these rooms manually later if needed.

Creating the property

Click Add property to create the property, or Cancel to return without changes. The property is now added to the top of your property list. Click it to open the property.

Next step

The property has been created. Continue with Manage property to explore the possibilities of a property.
