Need a check-in report in the London area?

A check-in report documents the condition and contents of a property at the beginning of a tenancy.

A check-in report allows a landlord and tenant to agree to the current state of the accommodation therefore eliminating any disputes at the end of the tenancy.

A detailed check-in report will reflect every existing defect by description and photographic back-up so that there can be no arguments as to whether further defects occurred during the forthcoming tenancy.

A check-in report inspection can also include the inventory clerk handing over the keys to the new tenant.

It will also include a detailed description of the rooms and their current condition, including doors and door frames, ceilings, walls, skirting, flooring, lighting, windows, curtains, blinds, baths, showers, toilets, sinks, fridges, washing machines, dishwashers and much more.

If the property includes contents these are also included in the report, namely, tables, chairs, cutlery, crockery, bedclothes, towelling and anything else the landlord chooses to leave at the property.

Utility readings are also included as well as the testing of smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms.

Extensive photos are taken illustrating the condition and contents within the property. We also take a 360° degrees photo of each room which can prove to be a very helpful tool in settling any disputes that may arise.

Our reporting helps to distinguish the condition of the property’s contents and décor before and after a tenancy is over. Side by side check-in and check-out reports offer a complete and accurate ‘like for like’ comparison including relevant photographs depicting defects that have arisen during the tenancy.

An interim report is often recommended during the tenancy as this can highlight ongoing issues and prevent them worsening throughout the rest of the term of the tenancy, quite often preventing escalating repair costs.
