Inventory Make – Professional Property Inventory Reports
Our Inventory Make service forms a key part of our wider property inventory services in London, Essex and Kent, ensuring landlords and agents are fully protected.
What is an Inventory Make?
Landlords and tenants may not always recognise the true value of having an inventory, which can provide important protection for both parties. In case of any disputes with tenants over the return of their deposit, a property inventory can provide evidence of the condition of the property before and after the tenancy, thus allowing a speedy resolution to any disputes.
An inventory is a comprehensive and detailed record of all the items and fittings in the property, such as furniture, appliances and decor, as well as their condition and any existing damage or wear and tear. It is created at the start of a tenancy agreement and it can help protect your property by providing evidence in case of any disputes or damages. An inventory report will includes a schedule of condition with an overall breakdown of the cleaning standard of the property. The inventory report is essential in resolving disputes between landlords and tenants regarding the condition of the property at the end of the tenancy, and it can help protect both parties’ interests.
An accurate and detailed inventory report is essential for any landlord or tenant who wants to avoid any disagreements and ensure a smooth and successful tenancy.
We have created a list of 6 key reasons why an Inventory is important:
-
- Protect your property: A property inventory is a detailed record of the contents and condition of your property. It can help protect your property by providing evidence in case of any disputes or damages.
-
- Save time and money: By having a property inventory completed, you can save time and money in the long run. In case of any damages, you can use the inventory to make claims more easily and to avoid any disputes with your tenants.
-
- Maintain good relationships with tenants: A property inventory can help maintain good relationships with tenants by providing a clear record of what was included in the property at the beginning of the tenancy.
-
- Evidence for deposit disputes: In case of any disputes with tenants over the return of their deposit, a property inventory can provide evidence of the condition of the property before and after the tenancy.
-
- Provide peace of mind: A property inventory can provide peace of mind for both landlords and tenants by ensuring that all parties have a clear understanding of the condition of the property and its contents at the start of the tenancy.
-
- Better management of maintenance and repairs: A property inventory can help landlords better manage maintenance and repairs by providing a clear record of the condition of the property and its contents.
