Why Landlords should ALWAYS have a Professional Inventory Done

A home is usually someone’s most valuable asset, and that goes for rental properties too.  However landlords can still be reluctant to have a professional inventory done.

At Perren Property we advise that every let property has a professional inventory at the start of the tenancy, as well as at the end. 

A professional inventory at the start is essential and protects both the tenant and the landlord where damage and responsibility is concerned. An inventory is a condition report of the fabric of the property as well as its contents all noted before a tenant moves in. 

But my property has nothing in it, I hear you say! This is where you are wrong.

A report is carried out from the state of the roof, walls and floor coverings to furniture and any white goods supplied is documented.

Having an independent third party undertake the checks make sure there is no bias towards the tenant, the landlord and us as agents. The use of a professional and impartial company is vital should there be a problem at the end of the tenancy and when returning the security deposit.  Everything will be accurately documented and verified leaving less stress at the end of the tenancy when problems occur.
