The Inventory
The inventory is a detailed document that will highlight not just the contents of the property, but also the condition and cleanliness of the property and its contents at the start of the tenancy.
We would always advise using an independent Inventory Clerk to provide an inventory of the property, whether it be furnished or unfurnished to avoid any unnecessary disputes regarding the condition and contents of the property at the end of the tenancy.
At Ashley Charles we can arrange for the inventory to be carried out by a local inventory clerk.
The “Make”
When the inventory is compiled, it is referred to as the “make”. This will be done prior to the start of the tenancy. The inventory is then produced and a copy will be given to both the tenant and the landlord. You will each be asked to check through this thoroughly and advise of any discrepancies or omissions.
The Check-in
On the day that the tenants move in, the Inventory clerk will carry out the check-in. They will meet the tenants at the property, and go through the inventory with them, making sure that they agree with what is detailed on it. They will also take meter readings and hand over keys. They will ask the tenants to sign a “check-in declaration” confirming that they agree to the description of the property and its fixtures and fittings as detailed in the inventory.
Check-out
At the end of the tenancy, the Inventory Clerk will carry out a check-out and produce a check-out report. This will detail the condition of the property as well as the fixtures and fittings at the end of the tenancy. We do advise that the tenants are present for this.
Please note that the Inventory Clerk will charge for compiling the Inventory, the check-in and the check-out. It is usual for the landlord to pay for the make and check-in, and the tenant to pay for the check-out. Prices can be given on request.
