SME UK Enterprise Awards 2024/ 54 Property Inspection Business of the Year 2024 - East Midlands Total Inspections So much more than your average EPC provider, Total Inspections is able to carry out a survey on a property and produce an EPC at very short notice and at the most competitive price on the market, giving it a clear advantage over others. The other side to the business consists of producing highly accurate inventory reports prior to a new tenancy starting. “Being landlords ourselves we understand how essential detailed inventories are,” explains Ian Hautenne, one half of the spousal team. “A thorough inventory can ensure the landlord isn’t left paying for damages caused by the tenant.” As a family run company, Total Inspections has distinct advantages. For example, offering a personal service to each and every client and always going the extra mile to ensure complete customer satisfaction. “Also, two heads are better than one,” Ian laughs. “We support each other throughout the day, drawing on each other’s experience and knowledge of the industry to ensure the best result.” The rental market is seeing continuous change year after year with compliance, legislation and tax changes altering the landscape for both landlords and tenants. Ian believes that the industry has reached a tipping point and thinks we will see rent continue to rise while relentless pressure is put on landlords. Staying ahead of the curve in such a competitive industry can be tough, but Ian tells us that Total Inspections has a unique selling point that helps it stand out from competitors and mark it as the best choice for customers. “We have a huge passion for property and the housing market in general, which came way before the company began,” he enthuses. “It’s this natural fascination with the property industry that gives us an edge.” As well as being an accredited domestic energy assessor, Ian is currently studying to become a RICS accredited residential building surveyor and valuer, meaning the firm will be able to offer even more services to clients. Recently, as recognition of the couple’s hard work and dedication to the property industry, Total Inspections was rewarded with the title of Property Inspection Business of the Year 2024 - East Midlands in the UK Enterprise Awards 2024. But what does the future hold for the firm? Whilst there are no definite plans for expansion on the horizon, Ian and his wife Sam will instead continue to run the well-established, credible business that they both know and love! “We love what we do and it shows in the quality of our work,” Ian states. “We pride ourselves on the accuracy of our work, not how many jobs we can fit into one day. We are a small family run business and the quality of our work is our livelihood.” Contact: Ian Hautenne Company: Total Inspections Web Address: www.totalinspections.co.uk Total Inspections is a husband-and-wife duo offering a variety of property-related inspection services across the Mansfield and Ashfield areas, working closely with agents, landlords, homeowners and tenants alike.
