Check-Out Reports in London
When a tenancy ends, a check-out report records how the property has been left. Set against the original inventory, it gives landlords, letting agents and tenants clear evidence, so the deposit can be returned fairly and quickly.
What is a check-out report?
A check-out report is an end-of-tenancy record of the property's condition and contents. Our inventory clerk visits once the tenant has moved out, goes through the property room by room and records what has changed since the inventory was taken, backed by high-resolution photographs.
Because it is set against the inventory, the check-out shows clearly where things are as they were, where there is normal wear from everyday living, and where something may need attention. That clarity is what helps deposit returns get settled without drawn-out back and forth.
Who it's for
We carry out check-outs for letting agents who need a dependable, impartial record to close a tenancy, and for landlords who want clear evidence before agreeing a deposit return. As independent clerks, our job is to record the property fairly for everyone involved, including the outgoing tenant.

Check-out FAQs
How does a check-out report help with the deposit?
It records the property's condition at the end of the tenancy and compares it with the inventory, giving clear evidence so the deposit return can be handled fairly and quickly.
Can you do a check-out if another company did the inventory?
Yes, we carry out check-outs against inventories prepared by other companies. Just send us the original inventory when you book and we will compare the property against it.
When should the check-out happen?
After the tenant has moved out and removed their belongings, so the report reflects how the property has been left.
How much does a check-out cost?
The same as an inventory for the same property: from £95 + VAT for an unfurnished studio to £230 + VAT for a furnished six-bedroom property.
Can the next tenant move in the same day?
