Inventories
Professional Inventory Services for UK LandlordsProtecting your property with detailed, impartial, and robust inventory reports.
Your Property’s Most Important Document
A professional inventory report is one of the most critical documents in any tenancy. It is a detailed, impartial record of the property’s condition and contents at the start of a tenancy. This report forms the basis for the final check-out inspection and is your primary piece of evidence in the event of any dispute over the tenancy deposit.
What Our Inventory Reports Include
Our inventory reports are meticulously compiled to provide a clear and undeniable record. We go beyond a simple list of items
High-Resolution Photography
Every room and notable item is documented with time-stamped, high-resolution digital photos, providing clear visual evidence.
Detailed Textual Descriptions
We provide thorough written descriptions of the condition of all fixtures, fittings, walls, floors, and furnishings.
Schedule of Condition
We document the cleanliness and condition of every aspect of the property, from the carpets to the inside of the oven.
Meter Readings
All utility meter readings are photographed and recorded on move-in day to prevent any future disputes.
Keys & Manuals
A full record of all keys provided to the tenant, along with the presence of any appliance manuals.
Why a Professional Inventory is Essential for Deposit Protection
In the event of a deposit dispute, an adjudication service like the TDS will give significantly more weight to a professional, third-party inventory than one compiled by the landlord. An impartial report proves that the assessment of the property’s condition is fair and unbiased.
Unbiased Evidence
It demonstrates to both the tenant and deposit schemes that the report is a fair reflection of the property’s state.
Reduces Disputes
A clear, detailed report signed by the tenant at the start of a tenancy significantly reduces the likelihood of arguments at the end.
Successful Claims
Should a dispute arise, our professional inventories provide the robust evidence needed to support a legitimate claim against the tenant’s deposit.
Our Inventory Process Explained
The Check-In
Before the tenant moves in, we conduct the full inventory. The tenant is then invited to review, add their own comments, and sign the report, creating a legally sound benchmark.
The Check-Out
At the end of the tenancy, we use the original inventory to conduct a thorough check-out inspection. We produce a comparative report detailing any changes in condition, beyond fair wear and tear.
The foundation of a secure tenancy.
