Property Inventory

Imagine the following scenario, tenants have just moved out, you find your property is damaged and goods are missing to cover the expenses you take some of the tenants’ deposit. The tenants take you to court claiming they have done nothing wrong and you have unlawfully taken their money. At this point you have no proof or record of you properties previous state, therefore the judge rules in the tenants favour. You are left paying for the damage, repaying any money taken and all court fees, doesn’t sound nice does it?

A property inventory is a list of all appliances and items within a house, also specifying their condition and the condition of the property. A Property Inventory will provide specific details on walls, windows, fixtures and other things that are often overlooked. You wouldn’t want your lovely neutral walls painted lime green.

A property inventory must be completed by a third party, known as an inventory clerk. This ensures that the inventory is impartial and thorough. Inventory clerks know exactly what to look for and list, painstakingly creating an inventory that could run many pages. Even an inventory for a small one bedroom flat could require multiple pages.
