For letting agents and landlords new to Rootstone. One property, any report.
Why it matters
When a deposit is disputed, the adjudicator does not visit the property. They read what was written at the start and what was written at the end. A vague inventory costs a landlord money. A clear one settles the argument before it starts.
How it works
Send the address, the date and which report you need. Confirmation the same day.
Full coverage of every room using the left hand rule.
Written up and with you usually by the next working day, as a PDF ready to send on.
Tenant signature captured where required and a copy kept on file for the tenancy.
Letting agents who need reports back on time and written the same way every time.
Landlords who manage their own properties and want protection that stands up.
Tenants who want a fair and accurate record of how they received the property.
Questions
A written and photographic record of a property, made on a set date. It lists every room, the condition and cleanliness of everything in it, the contents, the meter readings and the keys handed over. It is signed and it becomes the reference point for the end of the tenancy.
The inventory is the document. The check in is the appointment where the tenant is taken through it, meters and keys are recorded, and the report is signed.
They are priced separately, so if your office runs its own check ins you can book the inventory on its own.
Every room in turn using the left hand rule. Walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, skirting, fixtures, fittings, white goods and furnishings, each with its condition and cleanliness, and the size and location of any defect.
Meter readings and serial numbers, keys, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and photographs throughout.
Usually by the next working day, as a PDF you can send straight on.
An adjudicator decides on written evidence. They compare the condition at the start of the tenancy with the condition at the end. With no signed report from the start there is nothing to compare against, and the deposit is usually returned in full.

Yes. Prices are on the price list.
Yes. Download a sample report. It is a shortened version of a real inventory, twelve pages instead of sixty, with the property details removed.
Two or three working days covers most weeks. For same day or next day, ring rather than use the form.
Around an hour and a half for a two bed. Longer for larger, furnished or heavily defected properties.
For a check in or a check out, the tenant or someone acting for them should attend. For an inventory on its own, no.
For a check in inventory, yes. Belongings, builders materials or an unfinished clean are recorded exactly as found, which weakens the report you are paying for.
Keys collected from your office, met on site, or a key safe.
Please do not put a key safe code in the booking form. We will ring for it on the day.
We ring the contact on the booking and wait. If we still cannot get in, we let you know and rebook.
