What is a property inventory report?

A property inventory report is a detailed document that records the condition and contents of a rental property at the start of a tenancy. It includes room-by-room descriptions, photographs, and notes on existing damage — protecting both landlords and tenants in any future deposit disputes.

Is an inventory report legally required in the UK??

While not a legal requirement, an inventory report is strongly recommended. Without one, landlords have no evidence to make deductions from a tenant's deposit, and disputes are almost always decided in the tenant's favour.

How long does a property inventory take?

The inspection itself typically takes between 1 and 3 hours depending on the size and condition of the property. At Inventory Flex, your completed report is delivered within 24 hours of the inspection.

How much does a property inventory cost in London?

Pricing depends on the size of the property. At Inventory Flex we offer transparent fixed pricing with no hidden fees — you can get an instant estimate using our online quote tool.

What is the difference between an inventory report and a check-in?

An inventory report documents the condition of the property before a tenant moves in. A check-in combines the inventory with a formal handover — our clerk meets the tenant in person, tests smoke alarms, records meter readings, and hands over the keys professionally.

Which areas of London do you cover?

Inventory Flex covers all London boroughs including North, South, East, West and Central London. We have experienced clerks across the city available for same-week appointments.

Are your inventory reports accepted by letting agents?

Yes — our AIIC-accredited reports are accepted by all major letting agents across London including Foxtons, Winkworth, Romans & Partners and many more.

What happens if there is a deposit dispute?

Our detailed reports with timestamped photographs provide a legally defensible record of the property's condition. This documentation is used as evidence by deposit protection schemes such as TDS, DPS and MyDeposits when resolving disputes between landlords and tenants.

What inventory services do you provide for property developers?

InventoryFlex provides a full suite of inventory services for London property developers and BTR schemes — including bulk inventory reports, coordinated check-ins, mid-term inspections and check-out reports. We assign a dedicated account manager to every development, handling all bookings and coordination centrally.

Do you offer bulk pricing for property developers?

Yes — developers booking 10 or more units benefit from competitive bulk pricing and priority scheduling. Contact info@inventoryflex.co.uk to discuss a dedicated development account tailored to your scheme.

Do new build properties need inventory reports?

Yes — even brand new properties need a professional inventory report at the start of each tenancy. A new build inventory documents the pristine condition of the property, protecting the developer and landlord from claims of pre-existing damage and establishing a clear baseline for deposit disputes.

How do you handle large-scale phased handovers?

We work directly with your site team and letting agents to coordinate inspections around your handover programme. All reports are delivered within 24 hours of each inspection — keeping your programme on schedule with no delays.

Which London BTR areas do you cover?

InventoryFlex covers all London BTR hotspots including Canary Wharf, White City, Stratford, Nine Elms, Battersea, Greenwich, Wembley and surrounding areas. We cover all London boroughs with same-week appointment availability.

Built for Disputes —
Not Just Documentation

Most inventory reports look similar.
But not all of them hold up in disputes.
The difference is always in the detail.

Deposit schemes such as the Tenancy Deposit Scheme rely on clear, structured evidence — not assumptions.

That’s why our reports focus on:

Detailed descriptions
Consistent condition grading
High-quality photographic evidence

Because even small inconsistencies can lead to significant losses across large developments.
