Inventory Reports

A comprehensive property record before the tenancy begins.

What an Inventory Report Covers

An inventory report is a detailed, written and photographic record of a rental property's condition, contents and fixtures at the start of a tenancy. It provides the baseline document that all subsequent reports — check-in, mid-term and check-out — are measured against.

What's Included

  • Every room in the property
  • Walls, ceilings and floors
  • Doors, windows and locks
  • Fixtures, fittings and built-in appliances
  • Furniture and contents
  • Meter readings (gas, electric, water where accessible)
  • Keys and access devices
  • Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms (where visible)
  • Detailed supporting photographs

Why It Matters

Without a clear, independent inventory, it can be very difficult to establish what damage or deterioration occurred during a tenancy. A thorough report provides fair, documented evidence that protects landlords, agents and tenants alike.

The inventory is the starting point for any deposit discussion at the end of the tenancy — making accuracy at the outset essential.
