A larger provider is likely to have a Property Register as part of an integrated Property and Tenancy Management IT system; for a smaller portfolio, the details may be held in a standalone document eg an excel spreadsheet.
Providers registered under the NRSCH are required to maintain a property list that contains the information in the Community Housing Asset Performance Report.
For larger portfolios, an extract of the property register could be provided as an example, as an appendix to the Asset Management Plan. For smaller portfolios, eg where the property register can fit onto a few pages, the whole register could be provided as an appendix.
However you choose to provide this information, as a minimum this section should specify the type of information recorded in your Property Register:
o Physical attributes e.g. address, age, building type, highset/lowset, age, materials
(brick/timber) etc. Disability modifications or considerations Register of contaminants
o Other property related information e.g. insurances, rates, funding contracts/mortgages
o Ownership arrangements in relation to land and buildings e.g. owned, leased (term of lease, lessor etc)
It should also state where and how the information is stored, and who is responsible for entering and maintaining data.
2.3 PROPERTY CONDITION DATA

Large organisations should consider providing details on how the data is quality assured. Provide a small extract or example of the data.
Provide a small extract or example as an appendix of the condition data which is captured.
If your organisation does not currently collect property condition data, e.g. for department-owned properties where DHPW carries out 3 yearly Property Condition Audits, describe any arrangements in place to obtain this information from them, or set out the organisation’s plan to obtain this information.
2.4 INSPECTION REGIME
In this section you should describe in detail and provide examples of what inspections your organisation undertakes.

Where appropriate specify any quality control processes, including tenant feedback on workmanship and general behaviour.
Best practice asset management principles state planned maintenance activities should be based on condition data and actual remaining life estimates. This section should draw a link to sections 2.3 and 2.4 and how condition information is used in the formulation of budgets and the scheduling of planned maintenance. For example, the condition data or ‘remaining life’ data for exterior painting can be used to determine which properties will be repainted in each year of the forecast period.

Thermostatic Mixing Valves and Backflow Prevention Devices
Thermostatic Mixing Valves (TMV) are usually present in buildings intended for seniors, disabled people and facilities caring for children, but they can be present in any building. Organisations just starting the maintenance of these devices should ideally provide details of the work to locate and record the devices. Inspections and maintenance must be carried out by a licensed plumber who will also submit the associated documentation to the relevant authorities.
Backflow Prevention Devices (BPD) are generally found in unit complexes and are usually registered with the local council. The process for inspections will vary from council to council, so the methodology in the organisation’s local areas should ideally be provided. Again, BPDs must be inspected and maintained by a suitably qualified plumber who will submit the associated documentation to the relevant authorities.
For both TMVs and BPDs, details provided should include the categories below.
