What is an inventory?
An inventory is simply a listing of all
the contents and decorations of a
property.
Who makes the inventory?
We will draw up the inventory of your
property. We have specialist members of
staff who are highly experienced in
inventories. The inventory will be
prepared prior to the first tenancy. When
the tenant signs the agreement he is given
a copy of the inventory. Please note
charges relating to Inventories are at the
discretion of management.
Who checks the inventory at the
end of the tenancy?
It is vital that the inventory is checked
prior to the deposit being returned to the
tenant. This is usually undertaken by our
inventory assistant who made the original
inventory once the tenant has moved out of
the premises. This ensures fairness and
consistency. We advise that the Landlord
does not enter the property until this
check has been made, as this will
invalidate any claim the Landlord may have
over dilapidations caused by the tenant.
Move.. will not release the deposit to a
tenant until the Landlord and we are
satisfied that the inventory is correct.
Should there be any defects to this
inventory they will be made good and
monies withheld from the tenants deposit.
My property is unfurnished. Do I
need an inventory?
Even though your property may be
unfurnished it is still important to have
a detailed inventory. Our inventories
include a description of the condition of
items such as carpets, walls and floors.
Also it is quite common for unfurnished
properties to include curtains and some
kitchen equipment.

Inspections
Property inspections are carried out at
regular intervals throughout the term of
the tenancy. These are to ensure that the
tenants are conducting their tenancy in a
proper manner and also to ensure that the
property is in good order. We also look
for any maintenance problems that can be
remedied quickly before they become
bigger, more expensive issues. The tenancy
agreement refers to the fact that we have
the right to visit the property at times
suitable to the tenant, provided that
practical notice has been given. If you
want to visit the property yourself during
the tenancy we can make the required
arrangements but again the tenant is
permitted to prior notice.
