london property inventory

Property inventory is a term used to describe a record of a property and its contents at the beginning, during the tenancy or at the end of the term.

A property inventory includes 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 property inventory 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.

As a tenancy comes to an end, a check-out report will detail the important changes that have occurred during the length of the tenancy and will highlight any damages, cleanliness and maintenance issues the agent and/or the landlord will need to be aware of.

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.
