All of our Inventory Reports are professionally compiled in accordance with the recognised industry standards, can be tailored to your requirements, and are considered amongst the very best in the property industry due to the attention to detail. This is a complete record of the decor, furniture, fixtures and fittings of the property including any outside space. We always include detailed narrative descriptions which we combine with digital colour photography of each room focusing on areas of interest such as items of value or specific dilapidations on all reports. We visit the rental property and undertake a full Inventory inspection itemising the fixtures, fittings, contents and the condition of the property at that time including any furniture, if applicable.

Check-In

We will walk the tenants through the property, go through the Inventory Report with them hand over the keys if
At Check-In we can arrange to meet your Tenant at the rental property. We can do this on or before the start of their Tenancy.
A Check- In report will provide grounds on which any deposits can be withheld at the end of the tenancy.aplicable and ask them to sign a Schedule of Condition. This signed document compiled with an Inventory report ensures that there is no dispute at the end of the tenancy. We will also, where possible, take the meter readings and agree them with your Tenant. We can also list and hand over the property’s keys should you require us to do so.

"We will act as an unbiased third party and will provide a report detailing the condition of a property and its contents at any given point in time during a tenancy."

When a property is let, it is beneficial to both the Landlord and the Tenant to keep things running as smoothly as possible. Effective communication is very important and any issues relating to the property need to be sorted out not only quickly, but also in a way that is fair to both parties. Both Landlords and Tenants can benefit from our Interim Reports service which can be arranged once a Tenancy is underway, at an appropriate interval to suit your requirements. An Interim Report will detail any changes in the condition of the property’s fixtures and fittings. This can alert Landlords to any damage that may have occurred due to faulty equipment, such as a leaky washing machine or perhaps possible mistreatment of furniture or carpets. 

An Interim Report can also alert both Landlords and Tenants to any potential liabilities that they themselves may be responsible for. By dealing with any such things early on, both parties can take the necessary steps to resolve matters in order to avoid unexpected and costly problems which may become worse during the remainder of the Tenancy.

Check-Out

A check-out report takes place when the tenant moves out and is the most important part of the deposit return process. The check-out compares the property’s condition at the end of the tenancy to that on the inventory and check-in reports.

A note is made of any differences between the present condition of the property and that described on the Inventory Report which was compiled before the start of the Tenancy thus forming the basis for which to withhold or repay the deposit.

At Check-Out we visit the rental property at the end of the Tenancy either with or without the Tenant present.

The property is inspected throughout and a note is made of any differences between the present condition of the property and that described on the Inventory Report which was compiled before the start of the Tenancy.

The Check-Out Report is compiled and will include specific details with regard to the general condition and cleanliness of the property.

We will also note any items that are now broken, damaged or missing from the property.

Where possible we will take the meter readings and if the Tenant is present, we can accept the return of the property’s keys on behalf of the Agent/Landlord.
