PETERBOROUGH LANDLORD TOOL

Home Safe Inspection Repair Navigator

Upload the PDF inspection report Home Safe emailed you. Review the original urgency grades, match findings to report photographs, and create a repair list to send to 360 Maintenance Solutions.

Important: This is an AI-assisted document reader, not an inspection or council decision. Check every extracted item, severity, page and photograph against the original report. For Imminent Danger, arrange appropriate immediate action. Home Safe notifies the council. For other findings, use the deadlines in your report and accompanying email.

PDF only, up to 50 MB and 100 pages (maximum 300,000 extractable characters). Larger or image-only scanned reports need manual review. Your PDF and images stay in this browser. Extracted text is sent to Base44's AI service for analysis; please do not upload a document without authority to share its contents. No account is needed.

How to respond to Home Safe inspection findings

Imminent danger

Home Safe notifies the council immediately. Arrange appropriate urgent action; do not wait for this tool.

Potentially enforceable

Where no Imminent Danger is reported, Home Safe normally expects evidence of completed work within 21 days. Follow your specific report and email.

Advisory

Plan timely repairs to prevent deterioration. Home Safe normally does not require a response for advisory items.

For potentially enforceable work, Home Safe tells licence holders to submit evidence through the link included in the email accompanying the report. 360's repair enquiry does not submit evidence to Home Safe or the council. Read Home Safe's inspection guidance.

What to do after receiving a Home Safe inspection report

Home Safe reports contain a summary of flagged entries and detailed questions. Check both the PDF and its covering email. If a serious danger is present, do not wait for an online quotation before taking appropriate urgent action.

  1. 1

    Read the report and email together

    Check the report date, flagged summary, issue details, official grade and any deadline in the Home Safe correspondence. A summary flag can appear again in the report.

  2. 2

    Upload and check every extracted issue

    Compare each suggested finding to its source page. Check its priority, location and original photographs. Add missing work or correct incorrect text.

  3. 3

    Agree a trade-specific repair schedule

    Separate urgent defects from advisory improvements. Ask for the scope, materials, access requirements, specialist inspections and completion evidence to be specified.

  4. 4

    Keep records and respond through the official route

    Save the work order, invoice, completion photographs and specialist documents. Send required evidence using Home Safe’s instructions; this tool does not submit to the authority.

Guides to Home Safe inspection findings

These are supporting guides, not interpretations of your specific report. Select the subject mentioned in your inspection; never assume a defect or grade applies to a different property.

General repair urgency and landlord responsibilities; not a substitute for your Home Safe deadline.

Duties

Landlord repair responsibilities

Repair completion and evidence checklist

Use this for property records. Follow the precise evidence types and submission method requested by Home Safe or the council.

  • Original PDF finding and its report page or reference
  • Home Safe grade and any deadline in the covering email
  • Clear before photograph or other evidence of the issue
  • Agreed repair scope, materials and any specialist requirements
  • Contractor, appointment/access arrangements and completion date
  • Dated after photographs, invoice and relevant test or installation certificates
  • Confirmation that required evidence was submitted using the official route

For potentially enforceable items, Home Safe explains its evidence process . A 360 quotation does not submit evidence, extend an official deadline or guarantee acceptance.

For inspection priorities, licensing boundaries and any enforcement notices, use the issuing organisations. 360 is an independent maintenance contractor, not Home Safe or Peterborough City Council.

Home Safe report checker: frequently asked questions

What is the Home Safe Inspection Repair Navigator?

It is a free, AI-assisted PDF report organiser for Peterborough landlords. It reads selectable PDF text, groups reported findings by the grades shown in the document, displays source report pages and offers an optional repair enquiry. It cannot carry out a physical inspection or certify a property.

What do Advisory, Potentially Enforceable and Imminent Danger mean?

These are Home Safe inspection grades. Home Safe advises timely repairs for Advisory items, normally requests remedial evidence within 21 days for Potentially Enforceable items where there is no Imminent Danger, and says it notifies Peterborough City Council immediately about Imminent Danger. Follow your own report and accompanying notice or email.

Are flagged items the same as the number of repair jobs?

Not necessarily. Some Home Safe PDFs repeat a finding in their summary or office-use section. Review the full report and the final issue list before requesting work. A repeated entry is not automatically a separate repair.

Does the tool automatically match each finding to a photograph?

It can suggest original PDF images using the printed photograph numbers when that layout is recognised. The association has not been visually verified by an inspector. Check the source pages and images, and correct any mismatch before relying on it.

Can I use a scanned report or a PDF over 50 MB?

This version supports PDF files up to 50 MB, 100 pages and 300,000 extracted text characters. A scanned or image-only PDF may not contain enough selectable text. Contact 360 for a manual review rather than assuming a missing finding means there is no problem.

Does uploading my Home Safe PDF send the original report or photos to 360?

The original PDF and its images remain in your browser. With your permission, extracted text is sent to the AI analysis service. If you request a quote, the selected repair descriptions and contact details are sent to 360, not the original PDF or photos.

Do I have to send evidence to Home Safe after the repairs?

Follow the particular report, email, notice and stated deadline. Home Safe directs landlords with Potentially Enforceable items to the evidence-submission link in their report email. This tool and a quotation enquiry do not submit that evidence to Home Safe or the council.

Can I ask for one quote covering several Home Safe defects?

Yes. Select the relevant findings and check their descriptions before submitting a combined enquiry. 360 may need a property visit, specialist assessment or original report details before confirming the price and scope.

Will repairing everything on the tool guarantee that my property passes?

No. Completing an agreed maintenance scope does not guarantee licence approval, satisfaction of a notice or acceptance of evidence. Only the relevant authority or competent certifying professional can make the applicable determination.

How can I check whether a Peterborough rental property requires selective licensing?

Use Peterborough City Council’s official selective licensing maps, designated-streets information and exemptions. The scheme does not cover every privately rented property across the whole city, and some HMO properties fall under another licensing route.

What records should I keep when inspection repairs are finished?

Keep the original finding reference, the agreed scope, work completion date, before-and-after photos where appropriate, invoice, and any relevant specialist certificate. Follow the evidence requirements in the Home Safe email; photographs alone may not be adequate for every type of work.
