OUR SERVICES
THE INVENTORY
The Inventory and Schedule of Condition is a detailed written report of a property and all its fixtures and fittings. Its purpose is to protect both the landlord and the tenant in the event of a dispute with regards the condition of the property at the end of a tenancy.
​
An independently, professionally prepared inventory which is accurate, comprehensive and contains good quality supporting photographs of all areas including the garden, is the best way a landlord can protect his investment in the event of a dispute.
CHECK-IN
On the day the tenancy commences, the clerk would meet the tenants at the property. The meter readings are taken and photographed, keys are detailed and photographed, and all smoke alarms and CO monitors are tested – in order to comply with current Government regulations. The standard and level of cleaning is checked and agreed.
​
A check-in declaration is completed by the clerk which details all of the above and it is signed by the tenants. All parties are provided with an email copy of the document on the day. Photographs of the meter readings are also provided to all parties for their records.
​
The tenants are advised with regards the expectations of how the property is to be left at the end of the tenancy. The tenants are then given seven days to check the inventory thoroughly before the document is finalised and sent to all relevant parties.
CHECK-OUT
On the last day of the tenancy (or soonest working day thereafter), the final check-out inspection is carried out. All keys returned by tenants are checked against agreed inventory to ensure none are missing. Final meter readings are taken and photographed.
​
The condition of the property is then checked against the incoming inventory report. The clerk will note any and all changes and determine what is wear and tear, what is damage and if additional cleaning or gardening is required. This will be fully detailed in a comprehensive report with supporting photographs to highlight any issues raised.
​
Our reports clearly state who is responsible for what with regards cleaning and damages. We also make recommendations with regards ongoing maintenance/decorating to the property in order to assist the landlord maintaining their investment.

Healy Nicholls Consulting
Jo has been our Inventory agent for two properties for the past 15 years and I couldn't recommend her highly enough. I value her expertise and attention to detail.and she is always available to provide objective and fair advice.
Jo's inventories are extremely comprehensive and provide an accurate reflection of the property condition at both check-in and check-out. She provides a service that provides not only value for money but also peace of mind that, as a Landlord, you have an invaluable reference document. Her reports have on a number of occasions enabled us to negotiate with the tenant and reach an amicable settlement where there has been damage that goes beyond wear-and-tear. Jo also brings experience and insight that helps to moderate Landlords expectation in sometimes difficult negotiations.
I look forward to continuing to work with Jo over the coming years.
