Inventory and check-in
A complete record at the start of the tenancy.
A comprehensive record of the property at the start of the tenancy, covering each room's decoration, fixtures, fittings, furniture and contents, with condition and cleanliness described in clear, precise terms. Meter locations, serial numbers and readings, keys, and smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms are all recorded.
Where the tenant attends, we go through the meters and the report with them and hand over the keys; otherwise the keys are returned to the agent. The report is sent to the tenant for digital signature. The tenant has seven days to add any comments, after which the report stands as the agreed record of the property's condition at the start of the tenancy.
