Property Inventory Reports in London
Every tenancy starts with an inventory report. Before a tenant moves in, we record the condition and contents of the property room by room, with clear written descriptions and high-resolution photos. It gives landlords, letting agents and tenants one agreed starting point, so there is far less room for disagreement when the tenancy ends.
What is a property inventory report?
An inventory is a detailed digital record of a property's condition and contents at the start of a tenancy. We walk through each room and note what is there and what state it is in, from walls, floors and fixtures to furniture and appliances in a furnished let. Each entry is backed by high-resolution photographs, so the written description and the evidence sit side by side.
It is the document that the check-out report is later compared against. The clearer the inventory, the easier it is to tell genuine damage from fair wear and tear at the end of the tenancy.
Who it's for
We carry out inventories for letting agents managing properties across London, and for landlords who let and manage their own homes. Whether it is a single studio or a furnished six-bedroom house, the approach is the same: an accurate, impartial record that is fair to everyone in the tenancy.

Inventory report FAQs
Does the price depend on whether the property is furnished?
Yes. A furnished property has more to record, so it costs a little more. For example, a studio is £95 + VAT unfurnished and £110 + VAT furnished. The instant quote shows the price for your property's size and type.
When should the inventory be done?
Ideally shortly before the tenant moves in, once the property is clean and ready, so the report reflects exactly how it is handed over.
Are gardens, lofts and outbuildings included?
These are recorded as additional rooms at £10 + VAT each (£12 inc. VAT), so they are covered properly rather than left out.
Do you cover my area?
We cover all of London and the surrounding areas. Parking, congestion charges and tolls are payable at cost, with receipts provided.
Can I see an example first?
Yes. You can download a sample inventory report to see the layout and level of detail.
