39 Disclaimer The Report: this document and any supporting documents detailing the cosmetic condition of internal decoration and contents. The Property: the dwelling that this report relates to and which the tenancy agreement refers to. The Inventory Clerk: the person instructed to prepare this report by means of an agreed appointment time at the property, writing this report and producing it for the relevant parties. The Agent: The company instructed by The Landlord to carry out an agreed service which can include but is not limited to: promoting The Property to let, arranging references, performing credit checks, managing maintenance of The Property. The Landlord: The person who owns The Property; they may instruct a wholly-managed service with The Agent, in which case no contact may be made with them. However, if The Landlord has chosen to give you their contact information you should clarify with The Agent when it is appropriate to use this in place of reporting issues to them. This Inventory is prepared as an as seen overview of The Property and its contents at the time of the inspection and compiled as a fair and accurate record of the internal decoration and condition of contents. It should not be interpreted as a structural survey report. The Inventory Clerk is not an expert on fabrics, woods, materials or antiques; nor are they a qualified surveyor or valuation specialist, they are not required to state whether an item is antique, made of precious metals, of unique origin or whether an item is new (despite its appearance being so). Items left in loft spaces, cellars or in locked rooms, garages and garden sheds which have not been noted on the Inventory Report remain the sole responsibility of The Landlord. The movement of heavy furniture or appliances will not be undertaken and therefore some observations may be reduced where such items restrict full view. The Inventory Clerk is not responsible for inaccuracies caused by The Tenant being in-situ and it is deemed difficult to differentiate between items belonging to The Landlord or The Tenant. The Inventory is no guarantee of the safety of items or equipment, merely a record that such items or equipment exist within The Property on the date of inspection. Professional Letting t: w: professionalletting.co.uk Page 39

40 What is not tested for working order? The following items will be listed and their state of cleanliness recorded, along with any obvious signs of damage, but will not be tested for working order, unless previously agreed with the agent/landlord. Kitchen appliances All electrical items Radiators / heaters Power sockets Central heating boilers Combination boilers Smoke / carbon-monoxide detectors Any defects or faulty equipment should be reported to your agent or landlord immediately. What is tested for working order? Taps are turned on and wash basins and baths are checked for drainage Toilets are flushed and checked for blockages Extractor fans in kitchens and bathrooms Extractor hood fans and lights in kitchens The Inventory Clerk is not a qualified electrician, therefore items noted as being in working order can not be a guarantee to mean fully operational working order; merely that items appear as such. What other items will be checked? All drawers, cupboards and wardrobes will be opened and closed. Runners, hinges, handles and doors will be inspected. Curtains and window blinds will be checked to ensure they are securely fixed and in working order. They will be opened fully to inspect for any soiling or damage. All mattresses are inspected on both sides for staining, tears/other damage and general cleanliness. Loft/roof spaces will not be inspected, unless they have been properly converted into a living space. Utility meter readings and photographs are taken during the inspection where accessible; if this is not possible, this will be recorded on the report under the Utility Meters section. Cleanliness Where there is no reference to cleanliness and no additional comments added by either party: there is an assumption that there are no cleanliness issues. Damages: Where there is no reference to damage and no additional comments added by either party: there is an assumption there is no damage and all items are in working condition. Professional Letting t: w: professionalletting.co.uk Page 40

41 Lighting: Where lights or light fittings are noted and no additional comments added by either party: there is an assumption that they are working and no bulbs are out. Photographs & Supporting Information: During the inspection, various methods of recording the condition and contents are used. These may include but are not limited to: digital voice recordings, electronic typed documents, high quality digital photographs and video footage. All these methods contribute to the preparation of The Inventory. Overview: The Inventory produced and any photographs taken provide a fair and accurate record of the condition and contents of the Property as the professional opinion of the Inventory Clerk on the date the inspection was carried out. It remains the sole responsibility of the Landlord/Agent and the Tenant to check, verify and agree the accuracy of the Inventory prior to any actions being taken. Professional Letting t: w: professionalletting.co.uk Page 41

42 Guidance for Tenants The following information has been provided to help facilitate a problem-free move at the end of your Tenancy Agreement. You should ensure you refer to your individual tenancy agreement for specific instructions and guidance from your Agent/Landlord. General: All items should be returned to the location captured on The Inventory to ensure they can be easily identified by The Inventory Clerk. Searches will not take place to find omitted items and the Check-out Report will mark these items as missing/to be replaced. Cleaning: Cleaning is expected throughout The Property, with particular attention given to sanitary ware, windows, flooring, appliances and kitchen units. It is expected The Property and contents will be in a similar condition to that on The Inventory. Carpets: All carpets should be thoroughly vacuumed. Depending on your tenancy agreement they may have to be professional cleaned; evidence by means of a receipt may be required. Decoration: It is accepted during the course of normal day-to-day living that a few marks and scuffs will appear on some internal decoration. However, this has to be deemed fair wear and tear; excessive markings/stains/scuffs will be recorded on the Check-out Report. Screw/nail holes, pencil/crayon marks and over-painting from re-decoration will not be considered fair wear and tear and you may be apportioned liability. A typical tenancy agreement requires any re-decoration (even if deemed an improvement) should have written permission by either The Agent/Landlord; ensure you check your individual tenancy agreement for guidance on this. If you re-decorate without the required permission (even if you improve the condition) you may be apportioned liability. Definitions of Report Wording: As New: has the appearance of a newly purchased item, either remains in original packaging or it is clearly obvious. For example; carpets do not get laid in their original packaging but it will be obvious they are brand new. Good Condition: very minor or slight signs of wear, lightly worn appearance making it clear the item is not brand new. There is no obvious damage, defect or cosmetic blemish of note. Average Condition: signs of general wear and typical ageing, carpets may have fraying to edges, minor faint spot marks in footfall areas, minor shading and discolouration in places for example. Still perfectly acceptable and functional. Poor Condition: extensively worn appearance, with obvious and excessive tears/scuff marks/chips, staining or scratches to surfaces of furniture, carpets, bedding and equipment. Still functional, however will likely create unhappy tenants who may disagree on functionality based on personal expectations. Professional Letting t: w: professionalletting.co.uk Page 42

43 Very Poor Condition: items or equipment clearly broken as they may be in pieces, have parts missing or collapsed. Large tears, large burn marks, large holes in furniture surfaces, unstable furniture due to missing fixings etc. Carpets, bedding and equipment with the above damage covering large areas of their surfaces. Likely not functional or fit-for-purpose, replacement requests from tenants would be warranted. Clean: has the appearance of being clear of dust, litter, debris, lint, hairs, dust or cob webs. No action of any sort is required to rectify. Dusty: generally when referring to skirting boards, sockets and switches, but sometimes any flat surface where a property may've stood empty for several weeks or has recently undergone refurbishment works. Nothing more than a wipe-down with a damp cloth should be required to resolve the issue. Dust/Cob Webs: generally when referring to ceilings, high levels of walls or light fittings. Nothing more than high-level dusting should be required to resolve the issue. Light Debris: generally when referring to carpets and floor coverings, this may mean small amounts of leaves for example that have blown over the threshold, or lint or cotton fibres on carpets. Another example could be a small collection of crumbs in kitchen cupboards or under salad trays in fridges etc. Nothing more than a vacuum of carpets, sweep of hard floors, or dustpan and brush should be required to resolve the issue. Heavy Debris: generally when referring to carpets and floor coverings, this may mean large amounts of leaves for example that have blown over the threshold, dried or crumbled mud that has been walked-in, large amounts of lint or cotton fibres across carpets, carpet remnants and off-cuts from newly fitted carpets, heavy brick dust or broken plaster following refurbishment works. It would be expected that a thorough vacuum of carpets, sweep of hard floors, dustpan and brush AND mop and bucket along with possibly soap, water and cloth should be required to resolve the issue. Stained: generally when referring to carpets, beds, mattresses and linen. Marked or discoloured in some way from its original appearance and it is clear it would be difficult to remove. If vacuuming or wiping with a damp cloth would not remove from a carpet, or a washing machine would not remove from fabrics for example. Soiled: generally when referring to beds, mattresses, linen and curtains. Excessively stained and marked or discoloured to such an extent that it would be unreasonable to think a replacement item was not required immediately. Likely not-functional or fit-for-purpose, replacement requests from tenants would be warranted. Keys: All keys recorded on The Inventory must be kept safe and handed over at the end of the tenancy agreement; either to the Inventory Clerk carrying out a Check-out or The Agent/Landlord as instructed. Any copies you make of keys must also be returned at this time. If keys are lost, replacements should be provided. Professional Letting t: w: professionalletting.co.uk Page 43

44 At The End of Your Tenancy Agreement: All personal items and belongings of the tenant(s) should be removed from the property and any external areas, including garden sheds, outhouses, garages and gardens before the check-out inspection is carried out. Failure to do this will result in a charge for the removal of such items. All items within the property should be returned to their original location as noted on the inventory report. Items unseen due to being removed, misplaced or hidden will result in a charge for their replacement. If the inventory report was marked as Professionally Cleaned at the start of your tenancy, the property should be returned to the same standard. Proof of this by means of a sales receipt will be required and must be given to the inventory clerk during the check-out appointment. Common Charges Applied at Check-out: Discolouration to tile grouting in kitchens, bathrooms and WC s Lime scale deposits, mould and tarnishing to taps, shower heads and plug holes Mould forming to sealant/mastic around baths, shower cubicles and wash basins Food deposits and burned-on grease to hobs, ovens, grills and pans Mould forming to shower cubicle door seals Light bulbs, including supply and fit and missing light shades Nail/screw holes, dents, scuff marks and blue/white tack markings to walls, ceilings and doors Stains, tears and burn marks to flooring, including laminates, hardwood, carpets and linoleum Stains, tears and burn marks to furniture, upholstery, curtains and window blinds Stained and soiled bedding Stained and soiled mattresses Replacement of missing/unseen items Damaged light switches, TV aerial and power sockets Overgrown gardens and untidy external areas including weeding Redecorating without evidence of written permission Damaged locks and keys not being returned Replacement smoke detectors that are missing or replacement batteries if no longer working Disposal of rubbish and waste left either within the property or in gardens, garages, sheds and outbuildings Cleaning to bring the property back to the same standard of cleanliness to that recorded at the beginning of the tenancy Professional Letting t: w: professionalletting.co.uk Page 44
