A check-out inventory report goes a long way to protecting your property, its effects and its value as it itemises and compares the condition of the property between check-in and check-out dates. Whilst the report can be performed by the landlord or letting agent, it is not recommended as it will not be viewed as impartial during a deposit dispute resolution process.
A 3rd party report is much more likely to be accepted as independent and entirely accurate, which is why 3rd party check-out inventory reports are so valuable to landlords and agents alike
