Mid-tenancy property inspections to help landlords monitor condition and compliance.
Interim Inspections complement our professional property inventory services in London, Essex and Kent by monitoring property condition during the tenancy for landlords, letting agents, and property managers.
These routine inspections help identify maintenance issues early, confirm tenant compliance and support responsible property management across London.
What is an Interim Inspection?
An Interim Inspection is a routine check of a rental property’s condition carried out during the tenancy term. It is typically conducted at regular intervals, usually every six to twelve months, to ensure the property is being well maintained and to identify any issues that may require attention.
We have created a list of 6 key reasons why an Interim Inspection is important:
• To assess the overall condition of the property and ensure it is being maintained in good order
• To identify repairs or maintenance issues early, including checking smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide alarms
• To confirm the property is being used for its intended purpose and that there are no unauthorised occupants
• To identify any changes to the condition of the property that may affect its overall standard
• To help maintain a positive landlord–tenant relationship by addressing issues promptly
• To provide a written and photographic record of the property’s condition during the tenancy
We recommend conducting interim inspections as a means of enhancing the management of your rental property. Contact us today to book your Interim Inspection.
Smoke, Heat & Carbon Monoxide Alarm Compliance
During an Interim Inspection, we inspect accessible smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide alarms to confirm functionality. Our findings are clearly documented within your interim inspection report, supporting landlord compliance and tenant safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a property inventory and why is it important?
A property inventory is a detailed, impartial record of a property’s condition, contents and cleanliness at a specific point in time.
It plays a vital role in protecting both landlords and tenants by providing clear evidence in the event of disputes, particularly around deposit deductions.
Do you test smoke alarms and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms for compliance?
Yes. During our inspections, we visually check and test accessible smoke and carbon monoxide alarms where applicable.
Their presence, condition and test results are recorded in the report to help landlords demonstrate compliance with current safety regulations.
How quickly will I receive my report?
We understand that timing is crucial. We offer fast turnaround times, with most inventory reports completed within 24-72 hours of inspection. For urgent bookings, same-day or next-day appointments may be available depending on location and access.
