How we will carry out the inventory

Inventories

Our clerks will arrange to attend your property at a mutually convenient time ensuring that health and safety measures are met; collecting keys or meeting you at the property. We will;

• Note the condition of all décor, fixtures and fittings; gardens, garages and outhouses.
• Make a photographic record of the entire property including furniture and the interior of all cupboards and features.
• Record all meter readings and utility suppliers.
• Produce a full report in .pdf format which will be emailed or posted to you within 24 hours of the appointment.

Access to all areas that will be available to the tenant will be needed, so please provide all keys for sheds or garages. Anything that is at the site will be recorded on the inventory so you should ensure that any personal effects or furniture not for the use of the tenant is removed. If there is heavy furniture or difficult to access areas, it may not be possible to make accurate recordings.

Please note: obviously you want your tenants to be happy and maintain the property properly but you should not leave paints or cleaning materials for their use. Some of these pose a health and safety risk and should therefore be removed. Also, anything provided should be in good condition as any injury arising from the use of say, a chair that is in poor repair and breaks during use, could result in a claim against you by the tenant. You will also be required to maintain anything provided so if you don’t want to have to keep changing swing bins or cutlery, remove it!
