Ensuring all's in order during a tenancy

A mid-term inventory report is vital for your property. It allows a landlord to be certain that their tenants have fully acclimated to their new property and there are no breaches of the tenancy agreement. We know tenants can find such an inspection an intrusion into their day to day living so our approach at BK Inventories is to perform our inspection with minimal fuss to the tenant and at a time most convenient for them. Our process involves checking for any damage or maintenance needed as well as any evidence of breach of contract. We then document our findings and send a report to the landlord and tenant.

Alongside answering any tenant questions, our service also includes:

Inspecting each room for cleanliness and condition
Photographing all necessary areas of your property
Testing alarms for function and legal compliance
Checking for any unauthorised use of the property
Thorough detailing any maintenance issues found

Why choose us

A mid-term inventory report has one primary aim and that is to protect your investment. If you wait until the end of the tenancy to perform an inspection you may dismayed to find repainted walls, removed fixtures, newly mounted fittings, evidence of smoking or unauthorised pets amongst other things.

BK Inventories has seen many different issues over the years and so we know what to look out for to ensure a renter is using the dwelling in line with your agreement.

Our experience and skill and as well as our respect for the tenant's rightful enjoyment of their home ensure that we cause minimal fuss to their day, thereby maintaining your relationship with them.

We are discrete and efficient. We are BK Inventories.

Common Questions

What is an interim inspection?

Another name for a mid-term inspection is also known as a periodic inspection.

During these inspections, a mid-term inventory report is produced and documents things such as maintenance, cleanliness, housekeeping, evidence of misuse and any other relevant item. It also helps the process if landlords point out any key things they think should be paid particular attention to and further enables the clerk to record any problems that can be addressed before they go too far.

Why do I need a 3rd party mid-term inventory report? Can't I do it myself?

Doing it yourself will save you money during a tenancy, but it may well lose you money also in the end. A 3rd party report is independent verification of the effects in your dwelling and their value, and will be looked at more favourably by an adjudicator in the event of a dispute. A mid-term inventory performed by the landlord themselves or even their letting agent will not be seen as independent and, therefore, you may run into trouble if the tenant refuses to agree with any charges for damage or repair when it’s time to hand the keys back to you.

How will your mid-term inventory report benefit me?

As 3rd party mid-term inventory clerks, our inclusion in your inventory process ensures that the resulting report will be considered independent.

Given we have no affiliation with you, the landlord or any property agent, the reports we provide are inherently stamped, so to speak, with the values of being impartial, accurate, and reliable.

This is especially important when it comes to tenant deposits. According to the Deposit Protection Scheme (DPS), a tenant’s deposit is always their money unless and until a landlord can prove a justifiable claim. As our reports are independent of oversight from the landlord or tenant, they are more likely to be viewed as unbiased by the DPS.

How do I know what report I need?

What stage of the property rental cycle are you in? If your tenant is already in the property, then a mid-term report is what you are looking for, as it will ensure the tenant is settled in and the property is kept in a clean and ordered state with no damage to your valuables.

Suppose you are just about to start a new tenancy. In that case, an inventory check-in is more suitable as this will record the state and condition of the building before the tenant moves in and is your evidence of the condition in case of a deposit dispute. Should a tenancy be at its end, then an inventory check-out is in order. This will be compared to the check-in report and will ensure that you can justifiably make necessary deductions from your tenant’s rental deposit.

Does an inventory need to be signed?

Emphatically yes! How will you have proof of agreement if there is no dated signature? A signature shows that all parties have checked the inventory, agree to it’s itemised listing, have made and signed any amendments where necessary and are happy to proceed.

Once the inventory document is signed, then and only then, should the keys be handed over. You don’t want to have an adjudicator reject your unsigned inventory in the case of a dispute, so make sure it’s always signed!
