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.

What is an Inventory Make?

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.

  • 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.

At the commencement and conclusion of a tenancy, we inspect smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide detectors to confirm their functionality, and we document our findings in our reports.

Interim Inspections

An Interim Inspection is considered good practice as it enables landlords to ensure their property is being well-maintained and helps to identify and address any issues before they become major problems.

What is an Interim Inspection?

An Interim Inspection is a brief 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 that the property is being well-maintained by the tenant and to identify any maintenance issues that may require attention.

We have created a list of 6 key reasons why an Interim Inspection is important:

  • To assess the condition of the property and ensure it is being maintained in good order.
  • To identify any repairs or maintenance issues that need to be addressed and check smoke, heat and carbon dioxide alarms are working.
  • To check that the property is being used for its intended purpose and that there are no unauthorized occupants.

Check-Out

The Check-Out process provides an important level of protection and accountability for both landlords and tenants, ensuring that everyone is clear on the condition of the property and its contents when the tenancy comes to an end.

What is a Check-Out?

A property Check-Out is an inspection carried out by a property inventory professional like Inventory One at the end of a tenancy agreement, to assess the condition of the property and its contents. The aim is to compare and document the condition of the property and its contents at Check-Out to the inventory and schedule of condition at the start of the tenancy. This allows landlords and tenants to identify any damage, missing items, cleaning issues or discrepancies and to agree on any necessary deductions from the tenant’s deposit.

We have created a list of 8 reasons why a Check-Out is important:

  • Ensure the property is left in good condition: A Check-Out will help ensure that the property is left in good condition and any damages or repairs needed can be identified.
  • Help avoid disputes with tenants: A Check-Out can help avoid any disputes with tenants over the condition of the property and any potential deductions from the security deposit.

Snagging Lists

A Snagging List is a comprehensive document that itemizes all of the construction or repair-related defects, faults, or imperfections that require rectification. It is a report created by an independent professional company like Inventory One who inspects a newly constructed or renovated property and identifies any issues that require correction.

What is a Snagging List?

Snagging lists are important because they help ensure that a new property is in optimal condition before the homeowner or tenant moves in. Additionally, Snagging Lists are frequently employed as part of the final inspection before the builder or contractor hands over the keys to the property. They offer a visual and comprehensive representation of the state of the property and are a vital tool for both homeowners and builders to address issues and complete work to the highest standard.

We have created a list of 6 key reasons why a Snagging List is important:

EPC

EPCs provide valuable information to homeowners and tenants about the energy efficiency and environmental impact of the property. This information can help homeowners and tenants make informed decisions about their energy usage, potentially saving them money on energy bills and reducing their carbon footprint. A higher-rated EPC can make a property more attractive to potential buyers or renters and potentially increase its value.

What is an EPC?

An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a document that provides information on the energy efficiency and environmental impact of a property. It rates a property’s energy efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and provides recommendations for improving its efficiency. EPCs are required by law in many countries, including the UK, and must be obtained whenever a property is sold or rented.

Why are Digital Photographs important?

Having Digital Photographs with an inventory or check out is an important part of managing a rental property, providing a clear and accurate record of the property’s condition at different points in time.

Condition Reports
