A property inventory report records the contents and condition of a rental home at the start of a tenancy. It gives landlords, letting agents and tenants a shared reference for what was present and the property’s state at move-in. Tee Property Services provides inventory reports with photographic evidence across London, Essex, Kent, Hertfordshire, Middlesex, Surrey and Suffolk.
What does an inventory report include?
A detailed report describes the property’s contents, condition and state of repair. It should make it clear what was inspected and record any visible wear, marks or damage. Photographs add visual context to the written description.
For a useful record, descriptions should be clear and specific. For example, note which room an item is in and describe the condition that can be seen. If something could not be inspected, make that clear rather than leaving the reader to guess.
When should you arrange an inventory?
An inventory is usually prepared at the start of a tenancy. It records the condition at that point so the landlord, agent and tenant can refer back to it later. At the end of a tenancy, a check-out report records the property’s condition again and can be compared with the original inventory.
A check-in service can be booked with the inventory to combine the property record with the tenant handover process. Tee Property Services offers an inventory and check-in service for customers who prefer one booking.
Why does a clear record matter?
A clear, dated record helps everyone understand what was noted at the start of the tenancy. If questions come up later about a property’s condition or contents, the parties can review the report and photographs together. It is important that descriptions are accurate and that both parties have the opportunity to review the record.
