 Services offered by Checkers
Inventory:
An inventory is a binding legal document which provides and accurate record of the condition and contents of a property at the start and end of any tenancy. The benefit of an accurate report to all parties involved in a tenancy agreement is to protect the assets of the landlord and prevent deposit abuse.

A new legislation is proposed for October 2006 this legislation will require all rentals to have an independent inventory as the rule in any future disputes will be ‘ no proper paperwork, no contest’ see www.aiic.uk.com

An inventory is the only way to safeguard against dilapidations or damage caused during tenancy and it is advised that this is updated at the start of any new tenancy.

• The quality of the entire internal space. This includes:

Check Ins

This is where the tenant and inventory clerk go through the schedule of condition. All items and there condition are noted against the inventory and any alterations to the inventory are amended and a report generated. Meter readings are supplied and keys handed over are added to the report. Both the tenant and the landlord/agent sign and agree that all amendments are correct.
Check Outs:
At the end of the tenancy an inspection is required to ascertain if the state and/or contents of the property have changed in any way. The condition of the property, contents and garden is compared to the original Check In inventory. From this report the clerk will assess what (if any) dilapidation has occurred to the property and its contents and make recommendations accordingly

 Digital Photos:
