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 condition of a property at the end of the tenancy and compares it directly with the check-in report. It highlights the changes of cleanliness, condition, documents damage, missing items and records the final utility meter readings to support a fair and transparent end-of-tenancy process.

Our independent reports provide clear, impartial evidence used by landlords, agents and deposit protection adjudicators to support fair deposit deductions and minimise disputes.
