What will an inventory provide?
An inventory will provide a fair, objective and impartial record of the general condition of a property and
the contents, if furnished, at the start date of a lease of the property and again at the end of the lease.
A fully trained and accredited Inventory Clerk will visit the property and record and prepare a full photo
embedded report of all the rooms, their condition, contents and exterior with any garden or outbuildings.

From 6th April 2007, it became compulsory for Landlords to join a scheme that safeguards deposits
made by tenants against unfair claims by landlords for damage to a property or its contents.
The Tenant Deposit Scheme
In the event of a dispute over the amount of deposit retained for damage, which cannot be resolved,
the deposit is protected by the scheme, which will refer the dispute to an independent arbitrator, the
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service. An Inventory of the condition of a property and record
of its condition at the beginning and end of a tenancy is key to any adjudication. Without an inventory
the ADR will invariably favour the tenant. Even In a dispute where a landlord has compiled the inventory,
the ADR will favour the tenant as an inventory compiled by the landlord could be viewed as biased.
Inventories produced by an independent professional Inventory Clerk provide protection
for both landlord and tenant. An unbiased inventory assists the ADR service to review any
claims.

Type of Inventory
Why have an inventory produced by an independent inventory clerk ?
Initial Inventory - A comprehensive report compiled by the inventory clerk, notes and photos of the
condition of exterior, interior walls, ceilings, floors, windows, fixtures and fittings, furnishings and contents.
The Check In - Using the initial inventory, when a new tenant moves in the Check In inventory confirms
the initial inventory with the tenant, who will then sign off the inventory in agreement.
The Check Out - Using the Check In inventory the condition of the property is recorded at the end of the
tenancy. This allows for the comparison of the two reports to note any damage or missing items.
Interim Check - This allows a landlord to make periodic checks throughout a tenancy to ensure that the
property is being maintained in a responsible manner.
