Since the introduction of tenancy deposit protection legislation in April 2007, the provision of inventories within the letting industry, is no longer a cottage industry. Before the legislation was introduced it was common for landlords to believe that a security deposit would not be returned to the tenant. The legislation not only stopped this misconception, it also put the spotlight on the inventory. Whilst inventories along with check-in and check-outs are not mandatory it is very
foolish to even consider renting a property without one. The inventory needs to be a detailed and accurate record of not only the contents of the property, but also the condition of fixtures and fittings.
A landlord may think that the inventory is a waste of money, however in the long run this document could save the landlord a lot of time and aggravation. If there are deductions to be made from the deposit, having a well-executed inventory assists with disputes and even situations that end up in court. Anthony Lettings employs the services of an independent inventory company whose responsibility is to ensure that the inventory is a benchmark for both landlord and tenant.
Outsourcing means that there is no biased point of view, all elements relating to visual risk-assessment are dealt with and the report produced is as comprehensive and thorough as possible. This benefits the landlord who will be able to rely on information that has been produced by using a software platform by a company who invests in training, development and is a member of the Guild of Letting and Management.
​
Anthony Lettings knows that in using an external inventory company, landlords will be provided with peace of mind and the comfort of knowing that they can rely on the content of the inventory to
protect their interests.
