# Creating New Properties
This page will explain how to create a new property in the RiskBase app.
### **Why?**
* To perform an assessment on the app, a virtual representation of a building/site must be created (i.e., a property).
* Once created, any type of assessment can be performed on that property (e.g., fire risk assessment, door survey etc.).
* Each time a subsequent assessment is required (e.g., the following quarter), the same property can be used, and a new assessment started under it.
### **Pre-requisites**
* Download the RiskBase app from the Apple Store or Google Play Store, or search app.riskbase.uk in a web browser.
* Ensure an account has been set up and sign-in.
* Before creating a new property, search for it in the app first. This ensures that it does not already exist in the system, as assessments created in a duplicate property **cannot** be copied over.
**Note:** an internet connection is required to create a new property. Once created, users can sync to work offline.
### **Creating a new property**
1. Open the RiskBase app.
2. Make sure the **Downloaded Properties** tab is selected.
3. Click on the ‘**+**’ icon (top-right corner of the screen).
4. Under **Organisation**, click **Choose an organisation**.
5. Select the organisation that this property will belong to.
**Note:** ensure that the correct organisation is chosen, as a property cannot be moved to a different organisation later.
6. Under **Property Name**, enter the property’s name.
7. Click the **tick** icon (top-right corner of the tab) to save. The property has now been created and will appear on the app's landing screen. Assessments can now be performed on this property.
6. Click on the property to add a photo of the building/site, its address, phone number, or custom reference (if applicable).
7. Fill in this information in the **Overview** page on the right-hand side of the screen.
