Plan the right appointment
What to Know Before Booking
An inventory request should identify its purpose: recording a property before occupation, attending a check-in or comparing condition at checkout. Those appointments are not interchangeable, and a starting price does not confirm that every visit or report format is included. Share an existing inventory if a comparison is required.
Clear records benefit from accurate room descriptions, accessible fixtures and photographs of relevant condition. Ask what is recorded, how the report is supplied and when it is expected. The service should not be presented as a legal decision about liability, a deposit-return guarantee or a building survey.
A defined scope
What Does Property Inventories Cover?
Use this guide to discuss the work you need. The written booking should identify the accepted tasks, accessible areas and any additional services, with limitations explained before the appointment.
| Area or requirement | What to discuss | Important boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Appointment brief | Confirm whether you need an inventory, check-in, checkout or another handover record. | Each requested deliverable should be specified before booking. |
| Property details | Provide rooms, furnishing, address and practical access information. | Larger or more furnished properties can require more time. |
| Condition record | Agree the visible areas, fixtures and contents to be recorded. | Hidden defects and specialist surveys are not assumed. |
| Photographic requirements | Discuss the images and condition detail expected in the documentation. | Ask about report format and delivery arrangements. |
| Existing documents | Supply the relevant earlier inventory where comparison is requested. | A meaningful comparison depends on the records available. |
| Handover coordination | Arrange keys, attendance and timing around cleaning and removals. | The appointment does not itself decide deposit deductions or legal disputes. |
Clear pricing
Property Inventories Prices
The starting price comes from our published price list. It is a guide to the entry price, not a fixed charge for every property, appliance or item.
The final quote should reflect the work described, condition, size, access and any separately requested services. Send current photographs and practical details rather than relying on a room count or service name alone.
Ask for the total, applicable VAT, exclusions and any access or transport charges in writing. Do not treat an unconfirmed extra as included or assume an urgent appointment is available.
| Booking detail | Price or arrangement |
|---|---|
| Property Inventories | From £95 |
| Final scope and access | Confirmed before booking |
| Other services | Quoted separately |
Before the appointment
How to Prepare
- State the appointment type and the documentation you need.
- Provide room counts, furnishing details and any existing inventory.
- Make the agreed rooms, fixtures and contents accessible.
- Confirm keys, attendance, parking and building-entry arrangements.
- Schedule the record at the appropriate point after cleaning or before occupation.
Keep a contact available during the appointment. Tell the team about changes to the condition, access, items or requested work before arrival so the plan can be reviewed.
Useful detail
Ask for defined deliverables
Before confirming the booking, ask what the report includes, whether photographs form part of it, how it will be supplied and what delivery timing applies. If check-in or checkout attendance is required, name it explicitly rather than assuming it is bundled into an inventory appointment. Confirm whether keys or other handover details will be recorded.
Visible condition records should also be kept separate from technical assessments. Electrical safety, gas safety, structural defects and other specialist matters are not covered merely because someone attends to record the property. A condition report can document observations within its scope without certifying the building or determining who is responsible for a dispute.
From enquiry to review

Your questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers about property inventories, preparation and booking.
What is the starting price?
Property inventory services start from £95 on the published list. Property size, furnishing, appointment type and agreed documentation affect the final quote.
Is checkout included in an inventory price?
Do not assume that. State whether you need inventory preparation, check-in, checkout or a comparison visit so the correct appointment can be confirmed.
Will I receive a written report?
Ask for the exact documentation, format and delivery arrangements in writing before booking. The deliverables should be clear rather than inferred from the service name.
Do you need the original inventory for checkout?
Provide the existing record where a comparison is requested. Without it, the available observations and purpose of the visit may be different.
Should cleaning happen first?
Agree the appointment sequence. A record intended to show the finished handover condition is more useful when removals and the agreed cleaning are sufficiently complete.
Does the service decide deposit deductions?
No such decision is implied. A condition record is distinct from a legal determination, landlord decision or guaranteed deposit outcome.
Does an inventory replace safety inspections?
No. Specialist safety checks, structural surveys and hidden-defect investigations are separate from recording visible condition and contents.
Can an agent arrange access?
Yes, discuss the keyholder and attendance arrangements before booking. Include concierge instructions, parking and the rooms or areas that must be available.
