Match the property and appointment

Keep the property reference, address and confirmed appointment together. Record the source of changed times or instructions. A booking request is not an accepted appointment, and a similar address should not be used to fill missing property details.

Resolve the access arrangement

List the person responsible for access and the confirmation actually received. Keep credentials in the firm's controlled process rather than the general brief. Where several parties are involved, identify the person who will resolve the question instead of assuming they have coordinated it themselves.

Prepare the document handoff

Index the documents the inspector requested and distinguish receipt from review. If an attachment is missing or refers to another property, flag it. The assistant can organise the packet but should not interpret a seller's statement as an inspection finding.

Does a confirmed booking prove access is arranged?

Treat appointment confirmation and access confirmation as separate facts.

Sources and further reading

  • Internal Scheduling Options

    The inspection software documentation describes property location and contact details, appointment confirmation status, and internal notes about access to the property.

    This describes Spectora features; it does not prove that the owner confirmed access. The confirmation status concerns the appointment. UNKNOWN whether the system separately tracks confirmation of access.
