Independent inventories, mid-term inspections and checkout reports across Lancashire — carried out on your behalf, evidenced to deposit scheme standards, and delivered fast.
The inventory is the single most important document in the tenancy. If it's thin, late or badly evidenced, every deposit deduction that follows is built on sand — and adjudicators side with the tenant.
We produce a full schedule of condition for the property, room by room, backed by extensive date-stamped photography. Combined check-in visits record the state of the property on the day the tenant receives the keys.
Deposit schemes are clear: without a professional inventory, landlords have almost no chance of recovering costs for damage. A proper report protects the landlord, the agent and the deposit.
Routine inspections are essential — and they're exactly the task that gets postponed when the office is busy. We keep your inspection schedule on track without pulling your team out of the office.
Regular inspections are how you catch the leak before it's a ceiling collapse, the unreported damage before it's a major repair bill, and the struggling tenant before it's an arrears case.
We attend the property, carry out a structured condition check, photograph anything of note and flag issues clearly — so your team knows exactly what needs action and what doesn't.
The checkout is your definitive record of how the property has been handed back. We attend at the end of the tenancy and document exactly how it's been returned — every room photographed and described in full, even where no check-in inventory exists.
Where an inventory is available — ours or your own — add our comparison service: every entry checked against check-in, tenant damage separated from fair wear and tear, with clear recommendations you can rely on for deposit negotiations or hand straight to an adjudicator.
When a deduction is challenged, the adjudicator sees two documents: the inventory and the checkout. If they're detailed, consistent and properly evidenced, the landlord's claim stands. If not, the deposit goes back to the tenant.
Inventories, inspections and checkouts are the core — but if it involves attending a property on your behalf, we can usually help. Just ask.
