Every landlord will follow a process of due diligence when selecting the tenants that they will be entrusting their property with. This includes things like credit-checks, taking up references and possibly meeting in person. However, all these checks can't guarantee how well a tenant will actually look after a property.

​

Therefore, investing in a good property inventory provides vital reassurance in the event a tenants does treat the property badly. You are able to provide a professional report that documents the state and contents of the the property when the tenancy started.

​

It is important to ensure that you have a good inventory. An incomplete one, or one that just relies on photos, will not provide adequate protection in the case that you need to take legal action.

It is considered essential and best practice for residential lettings agents to provide an inventory at the start of a tenancy and may often undertake the management and maintenance of the property. A significant part of this is the need for an inventory that accurately reflects the state of the property, and can be used at a later date as evidence if required.

​

We are able to advise on what is needed in an inventory to provide that protection and why relying solely on photographs is not sufficient.

​

Some of our agent clients outsource their entire inventory requirements to us, knowing we will just take the problem off their hands and manage it for them.

​

Other agents who traditionally have used the services of an independent inventory company over many years, often come to us to provide flexibility to cover peak periods. We are very happy to provide this all important back-up when necessary.

Many good landlords will commission a good quality inventory and give the tenant a copy. If your landlord has done that, then there is little or no need to have your own inventory.

​

However, many landlords do not get a good inventory compiled or have it updated for a new tenancy, which can leave a lot of scope for arguments at the end of the tenancy. If the landlord is making a claim on your deposit, and saying that contents are missing or the place has been damaged, then a good inventory provides protection at the end of the tenancy.

​

We advise tenants on the right level of inventory to provide that protection. We can provide the inventory for you at a very competitive price.
