Home inspection photography in Kenya: Registration and Activity Enquiry Checklist
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Describe the actual activity before asking about requirements
Prepare an activity-specific enquiry for home inspection photography. The checklist does not assert a licence package, fee, exemption or tax treatment.
This is a planning reference for home inspection photography. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional sample order: A non-invasive photographic condition record of one two-bedroom apartment: approximately forty selected images plus a room-indexed PDF/contact sheet and original image files. Owner or authorised tenant consents to access and recipients. No structural, electrical, pest, valuation or legal opinion is supplied. The record shows visible condition at the visit, not proof that concealed defects do not exist.
Information to include in your enquiry
| Fact to disclose | Starting information from this planning case |
|---|---|
| Offer and intended recipient | Dated home condition photographs organized by room and agreed inspection purpose, without professional structural claims. Buyer group: Owners, tenants and property managers needing a visual record. |
| Scope boundary | Dated home condition photographs organized by room and agreed inspection purpose, without professional structural claims. |
| Resource or product specification | Sufficient detail for the agreed visible surfaces and original-file export. |
| Responsible work and acceptance | Open sample files and check forty-image target against actual usable count; identify inaccessible areas. |
| Location and premises | Enter the actual county, site, ownership/access arrangement and customer access |
| Scale and working arrangements | Enter actual quantities, staff, equipment, specialist tasks and proposed claims |
Questions to ask, with no assumed answers
- Which entity or business-registration route fits the actual ownership arrangement?
- Which county or activity authority should assess these premises and this scope?
- Which product, competence, testing, labelling or professional questions need a specialist answer?
- Which tax registration, filing, invoicing, accounting and payment questions apply to these facts?
- What written evidence, inspection conditions, renewal terms and current official fee references should be retained?
Questions this guide still leaves open
- Proposed job has not been field tested or independently reviewed by a practising operator.
- Obtain actual local rates and the exact product/material instructions before quoting or scheduling.
Keep the written response, date, official reference, exact facts supplied and any limits or conditions together. A general registration or a page in a planning pack must not be treated as approval of a specialist task, premises or product. Resolve an unanswered prerequisite before work that depends on it.
