We’ve already covered why gardens matter in inventories — but in winter, outdoor areas need even more attention. At The Property Inventory Company, we know that seasonal changes can make a big difference when it comes to disputes.
Why Winter Gardens Cause Disputes
Weather damage: Storms can bring down fences, damage sheds, or uproot plants.
Maintenance: Tenants may neglect gardens in colder months.
Safety risks: Wet leaves, moss, and icy patios can become hazards.
What Clerks Look For in Winter
Fallen fences or broken gates.
Overgrown shrubs or hedges left unmanaged.
Blocked gutters, drains, or external pipes.
Condition of outdoor furniture and sheds after exposure to rain and frost.
Why This Protects Everyone
Landlords: Know when damage is weather-related versus tenant neglect.
Tenants: Clear proof they’re not unfairly blamed for seasonal wear.
Agents: Evidence ensures smooth negotiations at check-out.
Takeaway: Seasonal inventories keep properties protected year-round. Winter gardens may look very different to summer ones — and impartial records ensure fairness for all parties.
