Inventory & Check-In
Inventory & Check-Ins
Your First Line of Defense
A comprehensive report listing all fixtures, fittings, contents and the overall condition of the property. We also record cleanliness levels, meter readings, confirm smoke and CO₂ alarms are tested and working, and note the exact number of keys issued.
Our clerk meets tenants at the property on move‑in day to complete the check‑in. If tenants cannot attend, keys can be collected in person from our office.
The report is sent to tenants for review, with 7 days to add comments or request changes. Any feedback or supporting photos are assessed, and updates are made where valid. The finalised report is then ready for both landlord and tenant to sign.
Detailed, accurate reports delivered within 24–48 hours.
Why You Need a Professional Property Inventory Report
A professional property inventory sets a clear baseline at the start of the tenancy. Without it, you cannot prove when damage occurred to your rental property.
It creates a reliable before‑and‑after record - the golden thread of legal proof.
Most tenancy deposit disputes stem from missing or unclear records. Our independent, photo‑supported reports stop disagreements before they start, protecting your income.
Fair evidence = fewer deposit disputes.
Your rental property is a major asset. A detailed inventory lets you legally recover costs for damage beyond fair wear and tear - essential for every landlord.
Secure your financial interests long‑term.
Poor cleaning is the #1 cause of UK deposit claims. We document every detail - from ovens to windows - so tenants know exactly what standard is required.
Avoid cleaning disputes entirely.
We check, test, and log smoke alarms and CO detectors at move‑in. You get dated proof you’ve met all UK safety laws and landlord obligations.
Full compliance, fully recorded.
Landlord‑made reports can look biased. Our ARLA‑qualified, third‑party assessments carry full weight with TDS, DPS, and MyDeposits - the UK’s leading deposit schemes.
Impartial, professional, legally accepted.
Ex‑property managers spot risks others miss - damp, leaks, or hazards. Fix small problems now to avoid expensive structural repairs later.
Protect your property’s long‑term value.
UK law forbids claims for “betterment.” We record age and condition accurately, so depreciation is calculated fairly and legally for every item.
Fair, lawful, accurate assessments.
