In the UK, inventory reports are not a strict legal requirement — but they are highly recommended and often essential for protecting your investment.
Why You Should Have One
Deposit Disputes: Adjudicators rely heavily on inventories to make decisions.
Proof of Condition: Independent evidence protects both landlords and tenants.
Compliance with Schemes: While deposit protection schemes don’t mandate inventories, they encourage them as best practice.
Bottom Line
An inventory may not be compulsory, but skipping it leaves you exposed to financial and legal risks.
