Setting the Standard for Rental Property Reporting in East Sussex and Kent

At The Property Inventory Company, we’re proud to launch our official blog – a space for landlords, letting agents, and tenants to find valuable insights, guidance, and updates on all things related to property inventories, check-ins, check-outs, and more.

While inventories may not seem like the most exciting part of property management, they are essential for protecting property, reducing disputes, and ensuring transparency throughout the rental process.

Let’s begin with the basics — what exactly is a property inventory and why is it so important?

📋 What Is a Property Inventory – And Why Is It Important?

A property inventory report is a detailed record of the condition and contents of a rental property at both the start and end of a tenancy. It typically includes:

• High-resolution photographs

• Clear condition notes

• Utility meter readings

• Key logs

• Furnishing and fixture details

A well-prepared inventory helps prevent disputes, particularly when it comes to deposit deductions. It gives landlords and tenants an objective reference point throughout the tenancy.

💡 Did you know? The absence of a professional inventory is one of the top reasons landlords lose deposit disputes?
