Why it matters
When a tenant leaves, the deposit scheme decides any dispute on the paperwork. Without a detailed, dated inventory signed at the start, most claims for damage or cleaning fail. Our team visits, photographs every room and records the condition and contents. At the end of the tenancy, the check-out report compares the two, so any deductions are clear and fair.

Common questions
Why do I need an inventory?
It's your main evidence if you want to make deductions from the deposit. Without one, the deposit scheme usually decides in the tenant's favour.
What counts as furnished?
If the home comes with furniture such as beds, sofas or tables, choose furnished. White goods alone don't count.
Do I need to use Rentals and Sales as my letting agent?
No. These are standalone, fixed-fee services for self-managing landlords. You keep managing your property and we do the one job you have paid for.
Which properties do you cover?
Residential lets in England. We are based in Wimbledon and most of our work is in south-west London, but paperwork-based services can be delivered for properties elsewhere in England.
