A Housing inspector is a volunteer who will be involved in evaluating and inspecting a handful of empty properties on an annual basis.

All Broadland Housing tenants can get involved as a housing inspector.

No qualifications or experience will be required.

You will be asked to attend a brief training session with the Property Services Manager, Peter Brown to provide you with a greater understanding of the role as a housing inspector.

Once you have received your training you will be provided with a list of properties to visit in your area and we will ask you to complete an evaluation form for each property.

We will encourage all housing inspectors to ‘buddy’ up and have someone with them.

Inspections will be carried out at a time convenient to you.

We will cover any form of travel and child care costs for the date of inspection.

In addition we will invite you to an annual lunch time meeting with the Property Services Manager the Resident Involvement Team and a member of staff from MEARS to discuss your findings with all our Tenant Housing Inspectors.

You will also receive a £10 high street voucher for each visit.
