  • Furniture and contents listing (where applicable)

  • Appliances and fittings condition (kitchen/bathroom fixtures, white goods)

  • Cleanliness observations and visible defects

  • Smoke alarms, heat alarms and CO alarms tested using the test button (where accessible), with results recorded
  • Meter readings and key schedules ideal for record keeping

Why A Detailed Inventory Report Matters

A professional inventory report helps you:

  • Set an agreed baseline condition at the start of a tenancy

  • Support fair deductions if the property is returned in a worse condition

  • Reduce back-and-forth at the end of a tenancy

  • Provide stronger evidence if a deposit dispute is raised

To avoid disputes, you need clarity and proof. Our inventory clerks deliver independent reports with detailed notes and strong photographic evidence, aligned with tenancy deposit scheme requirements, including TDS.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an inventory clerk record during an inventory check-in?

During an inventory check-in, the inventory clerk documents the property’s condition with supporting photos, confirms key handover, and records meter readings.

What’s the difference between an inventory report and an inventory check-in?

An inventory report records the property’s condition and contents at the start of a tenancy. An inventory check-in includes the move-in appointment, where we meet and greet the tenants at the property, confirm key handover, take meter readings and document the condition with supporting photos.

Do you provide check-out reports too?

Yes. A check-out report compares the end-of-tenancy condition against the check-in documentation, highlighting changes, damage, and cleanliness issues with photo evidence.

Are your reports suitable for deposit dispute evidence?

Yes. Our reports are designed to meet best-practice documentation standards and provide clear, impartial evidence for Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) dispute resolution. With detailed notes and strong photo evidence, they support TDS adjudication by showing condition at check-in and changes at check-out.

How quickly can I book an appointment?

We can often accommodate short-notice bookings. Contact us with your property details, service required and preferred dates and we’ll confirm the earliest available appointment.

We manage a large portfolio of properties — can you support ongoing work?

Yes. We work with landlords, letting agents and property managers who need regular inventories, check-ins, check-outs and inspections. We can agree a simple workflow for bookings, access and report delivery.
