Inventories

The inventory is the evidence. Everything else is opinion.

A tenancy that ends badly comes down to one question: what did the property look like on the day the keys changed hands, and who can prove it. Emilecon answers that in writing, with photographs, before anyone needs to ask.

What the visit looks like

Everything recorded as it is written

A clipboard and pen held in a bright empty room while two people walk through it — Every item is photographed and timestamped as it is written, so the schedule of condition and the evidence behind it are made in the same moment.

What you receive

Prepared independently of landlord and agent

The report, in full.

Emilecon acts for neither side of the tenancy, which is precisely what gives the document its weight when it is tested.

Format: Signed PDF, ready to issue to the tenant for comment. Photographs embedded and referenced to the line they evidence.
Scope: Room by room schedule of condition covering walls, ceilings, floors, joinery, glazing, sanitary ware, white goods, fixtures and any furnishings left in place.
Photographs: Dated and timestamped. Close-ups of every defect recorded, with a measurement where the size of the damage matters.
Meters and keys: Readings and serial numbers photographed. Keys, fobs and remotes counted and logged against the tenant.
Safety items: Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms located and tested, and the result recorded on the day.
Attendance: Tenant present, or keys collected from your office. Either works, and the report states which happened.
Turnaround: Agreed when you book, so it lands before the tenancy starts rather than after.

Three visits, one running record

Each one refers back to the last

Check-in

The baseline

Prepared before the tenant takes possession. It sets the condition of every item, records the meters and keys, and is issued for the tenant to comment on. From that point the property has a defensible starting position.

Interim

The early warning

An optional mid-tenancy visit. Damp, leaks, unauthorised occupants and neglected maintenance all cost less to deal with in month six than in month twelve, and the landlord hears it from a report rather than a bill.

Check-out

The comparison

Run against the check-in report line by line at the end of the tenancy. Fair wear and tear is separated from damage, and anything charged is tied to a photograph taken on both visits, not to memory.

Why it pays

A weak inventory costs more than a strong one

Deductions that survive the scheme.

Deposit deductions stand up, because each one is evidenced rather than asserted
Your negotiators stop refereeing arguments they were never present for
Landlords hear the condition from an independent party, which takes the heat out of the conversation
The property turns around faster, because the schedule of dilapidations is written and ready
Your file is complete if the scheme, or a court, ever asks to see it

Booking

Three lines of information is enough to start

You send

Postcode, property type and the number of bedrooms, plus whether it is furnished. That is enough for a fixed price.

You get back

A rate for that property, a sample report so you can see the standard, and a slot. Nothing to sign, no retainer.

On the day

The visit runs to your handover time. Access by tenant or by key collection, whichever suits your branch.

Afterwards

The signed PDF arrives ready to issue, and stays on file for the check-out comparison at the end of the tenancy.
