SERVICES

It has never been more important for anyone involved in the letting and rental industry to understand the implications of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) and the need for an independent and impartial inventory report. Indeed, if there is no independent evidence of the original plight and condition of a property, there are no grounds on which to withhold a deposit when a tenant vacates regardless of the state in which it is left. So an accurate detailed and independent inventory is an essential safeguard against costly disputes and loss of money both for the landlord and/or their agent and the tenant. Furthermore, a tenant is far more likely to maintain a property well having signed an inventory. That is why we offer the following detailed services:

Inventory report - The inventory is an accurate and impartial report, listing the general condition of the property, damage and any furnishings/contents before the tenant takes possession of the property.

Check-in report - This is where a tenant is shown around a property with the inventory at hand. All items and their condition are pointed out to the tenant and any alterations, if any, needed to the inventory are made. The tenant then agrees to the draft inventory and signs accordingly. The inventory is then altered (where necessary) and submitted as a final report to the landlord or agent. This now becomes a binding document.

Interim report - This inspection is completed at the behest of the landlord or agent. The report generated is a guide as to the condition of the property and its contents at the time of inspection. The intention is to give an idea as to whether the property and its contents are being well treated. A further benefit of an interim is the noting of any dilapidation or health and safety issues needing immediate attention.

Check-out report - This inspection and report is produced at the end of a tenancy. The report identifies whether the state and or contents of the property have changed in any way from that listed on the original inventory. From this an assessment can be made as to whether there is a dilapidation claim to be made against the tenant.

Snagging Lists - A room by room account of defects and out-standing work for contractors to follow before a new build property can be deemed complete.

Traditional Inventories - A listing of stock, content, equipment or possessions that will, in the future need accounting for; for example the relocation of office furniture etc.

All such reports will follow our consistent standard format unless otherwise arranged prior to completion.

Booking an Inventory - We find most clients prefer to meet and discuss their requirements in person and communicate via telephone and e-mail. Reports are sent in PDF and/or hard copy depending on the specific nature of the report.
