Property Letting Inventory & Inspections - Surrey, Kent, London

The work listed below is performed by a staff of qualified consultants with property management backgrounds and we always follow AIIC - the Association of Independent Inventory Clerks and ARLA - the Association of Registered Letting Agents guidelines. In addition, Chase Inventory Services is fully insured for both professional indemnity and public liability.

A comprehensive inventory of the contents of the furnishings, fixtures, and fittings of a property, including a full description of the condition of walls, ceilings, floors and carpets, paintwork, light fittings, woodwork, windows, radiators etc. The document is agreed by both landlord and tenant. Not sure you need an inventory? See 'Why an Inventory can save you money'.

We perform interim inspections for managed properties, ensuring that landlords and managing agents are aware immediately of any potential problems. We also carry out inspections on behalf of local housing authorities.

We provide snagging lists on new build properties and, where necessary, take photographic evidence. This is especially useful to investment landlords who cannot visit their properties.

At the start of a new tenancy we produce a hand-written schedule of the overall condition and cleanliness of the property. We take utility meter readings and list and hand over the keys to the tenant.

At the end of a tenancy we compare the state of the property to the original inventory. We list all changes, make recommendations based on our professional expertise, and, where practical, advise on compensation.
