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.

How much does an inventory clerk cost in London?

Inventory reports start from £110 for a studio. Inventory and check-in reports from £120. Check-out reports from £100. Mid-term inspections from £75. All prices are fixed with no hidden fees.

How quickly will I receive my inventory report?

All reports are delivered within 24 hours of the inspection, emailed to the landlord, letting agent and tenant. All parties have 7 days to raise any queries.

What areas of London do you cover?

InventoryFlex covers all London boroughs across West, North, Central, South and East London — including Canary Wharf, Hackney, Camden, Kensington, Battersea, Greenwich and Stratford. We also cover parts of Essex and Kent.

Mid-term Inspection

A scheduled visit during the tenancy to check your property is being maintained in good condition. Our clerk inspects every room, photographs any areas of concern, tests smoke alarms, and delivers a clear written report — so you know exactly what is happening at your property without having to visit yourself. Ideal for landlords with overseas portfolios or long-term tenancies. From £75, delivered within 24 hours.

Check-out

At the end of tenancy, our clerk visits the property and compares its current condition directly against the original inventory report. Every room is inspected and photographed, with any changes, damage, or cleaning issues clearly documented. This gives landlords the evidence needed to make fair, defensible deposit deductions — and gives tenants confidence that the process is impartial and professional. From £100, delivered within 24 hours.
