Protecting Properties Across Eastbourne, Tunbridge Wells & East Sussex

When renting out a property, landlords, letting agents, and tenants often overlook one of the most important professionals in the rental process: the inventory clerk. At Property Inventory Co., we provide specialist inventory services in Eastbourne, Tunbridge Wells, Heathfield, Hailsham, Hastings, Bexhill, Lewes, Brighton and all areas in between across East Sussex and Kent, ensuring every tenancy starts and ends smoothly.

What Does an Inventory Clerk Do?

An inventory clerk records the exact condition of a property before and after a tenancy. This includes:

  • Detailed written descriptions

  • Photographic and video evidence

  • Notes on damage, cleanliness, and wear

  • Meter readings and key handovers where required

Our check-in and check-out reports give landlords the protection they need and tenants the reassurance that deposits are handled fairly.

Why Inventory Clerks Are Essential

  • For landlords in East Sussex and Kent – Protect your investment from costly disputes.

  • For tenants in East Sussex and Kent – Ensure fair handling of deposits.

Professional vs DIY Inventories

While some landlords attempt DIY reports, they lack impartiality.
