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.

Do landlords legally need an inventory report in the UK?

While not legally mandatory, a landlord 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 struggle to claim deductions for damage or cleaning.

How does the Renters' Rights Act 2025 affect landlord inventories?

The Renters' Rights Act 2025 strengthens tenant rights around deposit disputes and property condition. A professional AIIC-accredited landlord inventory report is now more important than ever — providing independent, timestamped evidence of property condition that meets the higher evidential standards now expected by deposit adjudicators.

Can I do my own inventory as a landlord?

Technically yes, but a self-compiled report will not hold up in a deposit dispute. Deposit protection schemes require evidence from an independent third party. A report compiled by the landlord is not considered independent and will be challenged by adjudicators. An AIIC-accredited clerk from InventoryFlex has no financial interest in the outcome — making their report credible evidence accepted by all major deposit schemes.

How much does a landlord inventory report cost in London?

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

Do you need an inventory report for an unfurnished property?

Yes — even unfurnished properties need a landlord inventory report. The condition of walls, floors, fixtures and fittings must be documented to protect the deposit in any dispute with TDS, DPS or MyDeposits.

Do you provide inventory services for overseas landlords?

Yes — InventoryFlex is ideal for overseas landlords. We handle the full inspection including tenant meet and greet, key handover, smoke alarm testing and meter readings. The completed landlord tenancy report is emailed to you, your letting agent and your tenant within 24 hours.

How quickly will I receive my landlord inventory report?

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

Most Landlords Lose Money Due to Poor Documentation

Damage isn’t always the problem - lack of clear evidence is.

Without a detailed landlord inventory report:

Deposit disputes become almost impossible to win
Property damage goes uncompensated — costing landlords thousands
Tenants can challenge claims without independent evidence
The Renters' Rights Act 2025 makes proper documentation more important than ever

No proof = no protection.
