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 is a property inventory report?

A property inventory report is a detailed written and photographic record of a rental property's condition and contents at the start of a tenancy. It documents walls, floors, ceilings, appliances, furniture, fixtures, meter readings and cleanliness. This report protects landlords, tenants and letting agents by providing clear evidence in case of deposit disputes.

What is a tenancy inventory and do I need one?

A tenancy inventory is a detailed record of your property's condition at the start of a tenancy. While not legally mandatory, it is essential for protecting your deposit. Deposit protection schemes including TDS, DPS and MyDeposits rely heavily on tenancy inventory reports when resolving disputes. Without one, landlords almost always lose deposit claims.

How much does a property inventory report cost in London?

At InventoryFlex, inventory reports start from £110 for a studio, rising to £160 for a 5-bedroom property. Inventory and check-in reports start from £120. Check-out reports from £100. Mid-term inspections from £65. All prices are fixed and transparent with no hidden fees.

Are your inventory clerks AIIC-accredited?

Yes — InventoryFlex won the AIIC Newcomer Award 2025, the industry's highest accreditation for independent inventory clerks in the UK. The AIIC sets the recognised standard for accuracy, consistency and impartiality in inventory reporting. All InventoryFlex clerks are trained to AIIC standards and fully insured.

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

A check-in assumes a full property inventory already exists. The clerk reviews the existing inventory and records any changes. An inventory & check-in creates a brand new full inventory from scratch and conducts the full tenant handover on the same visit. This is the recommended service for any new tenancy or change of tenant.

Do you provide inventory services across London?

Yes — InventoryFlex covers all London boroughs across West, North, Central, South and East London. Whether you need an inventory clerk near me in Hackney, a tenancy check-in report in Canary Wharf, or a check-out report in Battersea — same-week appointments are available across all areas.

What happens if there is no inventory report?

Without a professional tenancy inventory report, deposit disputes are harder to win, evidence is weaker and claims may be rejected by deposit schemes. This applies equally to furnished and unfurnished properties. DIY inventories often lack the detail and independence required by TDS, DPS and MyDeposits.

How quickly will I receive the report?

Reports are delivered within 24 hours of the inspection — emailed simultaneously to the landlord, letting agent and tenant. All parties have 7 days to raise any queries before the report is finalised.
