PROPERTY INVENTORY
An inventory is a legal document that provides a detailed written record of the condition and contents of a property at the beginning of a tenancy, regardless of whether it is furnished or unfurnished.
Since the introduction of a legal requirement to bond a tenant’s deposit in an approved scheme, it has never been more important to have an inventory report. It is good practice to have the inventory report prepared by an independent company such as EZ Property Reports to avoid disputes regarding the initial condition or accusations of a biased report.
Here at EZ Property Reports, we specialise in impartial and easy to read inventory reports with quality date stamped images that clearly display the condition of the property. These inventory reports help our clients to demonstrate changes in condition beyond fair wear and tear and deduct the required monies from the tenant’s deposit. All of our clerks follow the ARLA Propertymark code of practice, so you can be sure of consistency between all of our reports.
It is recommended that a property is cleaned to a professional standard before every new tenancy, paying particular care to carpets, curtains, upholstery, kitchens and bathrooms. If an item is noted as not clean at the start of a tenancy a tenant cannot be charged for cleaning costs at the end. Landlords are also advised to retain all cleaning receipts.
Our clerks will flag any maintenance issues in the inventory report, as well as checking that the property is compliant with safety regulations. This includes verifying that you have the relevant number of smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms and testing that they are working. We will also check that any blinds meet current regulations and note any other hazards you should be aware of.
