What we do

Well prepared reports protect landlords and tenants

 

Well prepared reports protect landlords and tenants alike because they provided accurate descriptions of the condition and content of a property at the start of a tenancy.

 

Our high quality reports include didgital photographs at no extra cost and all standard reports are produced within two business days of the visit to the property.

 

 

Inventory

An Inventory Report is a complete record of the fixtures, fittings and décor of your property. The entire report works methodically from the front entrance through each room, and includes any outdoor space. High resolution digital photos of each room provide a quick overview, and additional smaller images highlight items of value, interest and damage. We also complete your reports within two business days of the visit - reports can be sent as PDF's to an email account, or as a bound presentation copy, or both!

Check-in

A Check-In Report combined with an inventory creates a report specific to a tenancy. The check-in examines the property on the day that the agreement begins, noting the condition of furniture and fittings. Meter readings are noted and a photograph is taken to guarantee accuracy. The new tenants will be asked to sign for any keys that are passed over, and we walk tenants through the property, highlighting any issues, with them. A Check-in provides a schedule of condition of the property and sets the standard at which the property should be maintained, and returned at the end of the tenancy.

Check-out

A Check-Out Report takes place at arguably the most important point in your tenancy - when your tenants move out. The check-out compares the condition at the end of the tenancy to that on the inventory and check-in reports. Each room in the report will have an overview, photographs and a detailed description of any changes that have occurred in the property. We will assign liability for these changes to either tenants or the landlord (maintenance) or to fair wear and tear. The report also notes final meter readings, compares keys returned to keys provided at the start of the tenancy and takes forwarding contact details for outgoing tenants when possible.

Mid-term

A Mid-Term Report is a great security measure when letting a property. Our clerks will conduct a review of the property part way through the tenancy. The appointment appraises the condition of the property relative to the length of the tenancy and expected condition at that point in time. This allows you to keep in touch and remain informed during the tenancy, which we find always makes end of tenancies much smoother. In some cases, such as when damage is noted, it allows you to make an informed decision.

Snagging

In the final stages of a new build, a Snagging Report can give you comfort in completing on the purchase. The report is a detailed record of any issues noted with finish, décor, fixtures, fittings, electrics, glazing, appliances etc. Each property is examined in detail based on a 300+ point checklist. This generates a list of "snags" - areas of concern - which can be used as a works list, or a final check to guarantee the finish of the property meets your standards.

EPC's

Since October 2008 it has been required to have an Energy Performance Certificate (commonly called an 'EPC') whenever your property is rented out. This is part of European legislation to tackle climate change and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The report grades buildings from A (most energy efficient) to G (least energy efficient) and suggests possible improvements that can be made to improve the building's energy rating. We can undertake EPC's on both residential and commercial properties across the Greater London area.
