Inventory Reports

When a new tenancy begins it is crucial to have a new inventory report carried out too. At Looksy Inventories we thoroughly and carefully report on the condition and cleanliness of the property before the next tenants move in, giving you – and them – complete peace of mind.

Our inventory reports contain information on the condition of the walls, floors, and ceilings. We could the plug sockets. We note colours and patterns. We spot issues that you may not have noticed. We make sure you’re aware of it all. This accurate and detailed account on the condition of your property makes being a landlord or managing agent that much easier.

Check-Ins

The day has come – your new tenants are moving in. What do you need to do? The only thing you really need to think about is ensuring that Looksy Inventories are booked to carry out the check in process on your behalf.

At check in we will hand over the keys to the property and make a record that this has been done. We will take final meter readings. Plus we’ll walk the new tenant through the property and the inventory to make sure they are happy before they sign the report. We then leave them to unpack and settle into their new home, and you can relax knowing that the job is done.

Interim Reports

The interim report that Looksy Inventories carries out for landlords and lettings/managing agents something that can offer total peace of mind. Whether it’s quarterly, six monthly, or annually, having a professional book an appointment with the tenant to carry out an inspection means that your property will be well looked after at all points during the tenancy.

This interim reporting system also means that any issues can be ironed out sooner rather than later. A tenant may be more comfortable speaking to an inventory clerk than going direct to their landlord or managing agent, so these regular inspections give them the opportunity to mention items that need to be attended to. Our experienced clerks can then determine the urgency and nature of the issue, and report back quickly.

Check-Outs

After a while, be it 6 months, two years, or a decade down the line, your tenants will decide it’s time to move on. When this happens, Looksy Inventories will carry out the check out report on your behalf. Using the original inventory as a guide, we will document (including photographs) the condition of the property and compare it against the condition it was in when the tenants moved in. This is hugely important, as any discrepancies will need to be discussed before the tenant’s deposit can be released.

The difference between damage and deterioration and fair wear and tear is something that an experienced inventory clerk will be able to determine, and we can advise the landlord or managing agent accordingly.

Finally, the keys will be collected (and returned to the agent or landlord) and final meter readings taken. All parties will sign the report, and you can start getting the house ready to go back on the market.
