Check-Out Reports in London
Independent, Detailed & Dispute-Ready End-of-Tenancy Inspections
What Is a Check-Out Report?
Documenting the Property at the End of the Tenancy
A check-out report records the property’s condition at the end of the tenancy and compares it against the check-in report, which provides the official baseline evidence from moving in day. It highlights changes in cleanliness and condition, documents damage, missing items and records final meter readings to support a fair and transparent end-of-tenancy process.
Why the Check-Out Stage Matters
Our independent reports provide clear, impartial evidence used by landlords, agents and deposit protection adjudicators to support fair deposit deductions and minimise disputes.
360° images provide instant context for adjudicators when cleanliness or damage is disputed.
