# Creating New Properties

*To perform an assessment, a virtual representation of a property must be created in RiskBase.*

*Before creating one, search for the property in RiskBase first. This ensures that it does not already exist on the system, as assessments created in a duplicate property **cannot** be copied over.*

*Note that an internet connection is required to create a new property. Once created, users can sync to work offline.*

**How to create a new property:**

1. Sign-in to the RiskBase application on a phone/tablet or search [app.riskbase.uk](http://app.riskbase.uk) in a web browser.
2. Click on the teal-coloured RiskBase shield (top-left corner of the screen).
3. Select **Download Properties**.
4. Click on the ‘**+**’ icon (top-right corner of the screen).
5. Under **Organisation**, click **Choose an organisation** to select the organisation that this property will be listed under.

> Ensure that the correct organisation is chosen, as the 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 screen) to create the property. It will now appear on the screen.
8. Click on the property. On the **Overview** page, users can edit the property’s name, add a photo of it using the camera icon, fill in its address, a phone number, and a custom reference if required.

> Assessments can now be performed on this property.
