Inventories at the start and end of tenancies are vital — but what about in between? That’s where mid-term inspections come in. At The Property Inventory Company, we see them as one of the best tools for protecting rental investments.
What Is a Mid-Term Inspection?
A mid-term inspection is a scheduled check (usually every 3–6 months) where an independent clerk visits the property while tenants are in occupation. It’s not about catching tenants out — it’s about protecting everyone’s interests.
What We Look For
During mid-term inspections, our clerks:
Check the condition of fixtures, fittings, and furniture
Identify any early signs of damage or neglect
Look for compliance issues (smoke alarms, CO alarms, etc.)
Spot potential maintenance problems like leaks or damp
Record photographic evidence for landlords and agents
Why Mid-Terms Matter
For landlords: Problems are spotted early before they become costly repairs.
For tenants: They’re protected from being blamed for issues that weren’t their fault.
For agents: They demonstrate proactive property management and compliance.
Takeaway: Mid-term inspections aren’t about distrust — they’re about prevention, reassurance, and maintaining the value of a rental property.
