What is a property inventory report?

A property inventory report is a detailed document that records the condition and contents of a rental property at the start of a tenancy. It includes room-by-room descriptions, photographs, and notes on existing damage — protecting both landlords and tenants in any future deposit disputes.

Is an inventory report legally required in the UK??

While not a legal requirement, an inventory report is strongly recommended. Without one, landlords have no evidence to make deductions from a tenant's deposit, and disputes are almost always decided in the tenant's favour.

How long does a property inventory take?

The inspection itself typically takes between 1 and 3 hours depending on the size and condition of the property. At Inventory Flex, your completed report is delivered within 24 hours of the inspection.

How much does a property inventory cost in London?

Pricing depends on the size of the property. At Inventory Flex we offer transparent fixed pricing with no hidden fees — you can get an instant estimate using our online quote tool.

What is the difference between an inventory report and a check-in?

An inventory report documents the condition of the property before a tenant moves in. A check-in combines the inventory with a formal handover — our clerk meets the tenant in person, tests smoke alarms, records meter readings, and hands over the keys professionally.

Which areas of London do you cover?

Inventory Flex covers all London boroughs including North, South, East, West and Central London. We have experienced clerks across the city available for same-week appointments.

Are your inventory reports accepted by letting agents?

Yes — our AIIC-accredited reports are accepted by all major letting agents across London including Foxtons, Winkworth, Romans & Partners and many more.

What happens if there is a deposit dispute?

Our detailed reports with timestamped photographs provide a legally defensible record of the property's condition. This documentation is used as evidence by deposit protection schemes such as TDS, DPS and MyDeposits when resolving disputes between landlords and tenants.

What is a property inventory report?

A property inventory report is a detailed written and photographic record of a rental property's condition and contents at the start of a tenancy. It documents every room, fixture, fitting, appliance and surface — protecting landlords, tenants and letting agents by providing clear evidence in any deposit dispute.

How much does a property inventory report cost in London?

InventoryFlex inventory reports start from £110 for a studio up to £160 for a 5-bedroom property. Inventory and check-in reports start from £120. Check-out reports from £100. Mid-term inspections from £65. All prices are fixed with no hidden fees.

Do I legally need a property inventory report?

While not legally mandatory, a professional inventory report is essential for protecting your deposit. Deposit protection schemes including TDS, DPS and MyDeposits rely heavily on inventory reports when resolving disputes. Without one, landlords almost always lose deposit claims.

What is the difference between an inventory report and an inventory & check-in?

An inventory report creates a full record of the property condition and contents. An inventory & check-in combines this with testing smoke alarms, recording meter readings and recording the keys with or without tenants. The inventory & check-in is recommended for any new tenancy.

How quickly will I receive my inventory report?

All reports are delivered within 24 hours of the inspection — emailed simultaneously to the landlord, letting agent and tenant. All parties have 7 days to raise any queries before the report is finalised.

Are your inventory clerks AIIC-accredited?

Yes — InventoryFlex won the AIIC Newcomer Award 2025, the industry's highest accreditation for independent inventory clerks in the UK. All clerks are fully trained, insured and follow consistent AIIC reporting standards on every inspection across London.
