What is Inventory?
A property inventory is an independent, photographic record of a rental property's contents, condition, cleanliness and meter readings at the start, middle or end of a tenancy.
A dated condition report can help the parties compare the property at the start and end of a tenancy. Any deposit dispute depends on the available evidence and the relevant scheme's process; a report cannot guarantee an outcome.
We produce three report types: check-in (move-in), check-out (move-out, compared against the original) and inventory-only (a standalone snapshot, often for insurance or sale).
What we need on site
A quick checklist to make sure your appointment runs smoothly.
- Full access to the property, including all rooms, lofts, garages, gardens and outbuildings.
- Meter locations (gas, electric, water) — we record opening readings.
- Set of keys, fobs, alarm codes and parking permits to check off and photograph.
- Property to be clean and clear of personal items (for check-in) — exactly as the tenant will receive it.
- Roughly 1–3 hours on site depending on property size and report type.

Your appointment, step by step
Detailed room-by-room walk

Each item is graded (e.g. clean / fair / soiled) using industry-standard AIIC terminology to support any future deposit claim.
Meters and keys
We photograph all meter readings and log every key, fob and remote handed over.

You receive the full report as a time-stamped, signature-ready PDF within 24 hours — ready to share with the tenant for sign-off.

Independent and unbiased
We don't work for either side. Our impartiality is exactly what makes the report stand up in dispute resolution.

Frequently asked questions
Is an inventory a legal requirement?
Not strictly — but without one, deposit adjudicators almost always rule in the tenant's favour. It is industry standard and effectively essential.
What's the difference between check-in and inventory-only?
An inventory-only is a snapshot of the property. A check-in adds meter readings, key handover, tenant sign-off and is timed to the tenancy start date.
Do you need the tenant present?
Not for the inventory itself. For check-in, having the tenant present is ideal so they can sign the report and ask questions on the day.
What if there's a dispute later?
We can supply the original report and supporting photographs to the deposit scheme adjudicator. Our reports are designed to be dispute-ready from day one.
What is the difference between an inventory and a check-out?
An inventory records the condition and contents at the time of the visit. A check-out records the condition at the end of the tenancy and can compare it with the original inventory where that report is available.
