Addlefields | The Importance of Property Services

Nov. 6, 2009 - PRLog -- (London, UK 06/11/09) Having a properly documented and independent inventory at the start of the tenancy and a properly documented and independent check out at the end of the tenancy is as important as having insurance on your property or possessions. Without such documents the cost of damage or theft cannot be recovered. Under the Tenancy Deposit Scheme introduced by the government in April 2007 it is essential to have an independent and professional report completed at the beginning and end of each occupation. The preparation of a "professional" and "independently prepared" inventory is an absolute necessity to provide peace of mind for both landlord and tenant during a tenancy, and to legally resolve any disputes at the end of a tenancy.

Addlefields who are based in London UK are without question the market leaders in the provision of quality Tenancy Services covering the essential services below.

Inventory Make:   An inventory is a report created specifically for a residential or commercial tenanted property; it is intended as an independent opinion and informative guide to both landlord and tenant about the condition of any fixtures, fittings, furniture, contents and décor. It also includes all furnishings and owners possessions.

Check In: The check-in appointment is preceded by the Inventory Make. This appointment is between the tenant and the Inventory Clerk. The Clerk will go through the inventory report of the fixtures, fittings, conditions and level of cleanliness of the property. Meter readings for electric, gas and water are inclusive of the cost of a Check-in appointment.

Check In Report: An Check In report is a more summary document and is again created specifically for a residential or commercial tenanted property; it is intended as an independent opinion and informative guide to both landlord and tenant about the condition of any fixtures, fittings, furniture, contents and décor.

Check Out: On termination of the tenancy a check-out appointment is made for the property. The inventory report is rechecked, any discrepancies and/or variations will be reported to the client. The check-out report will indicate, in the opinion of the Clerk, as to whether there is any liability on the tenant, or whether such deterioration could be assessed as fair wear and tear. Meter readings for electric, gas and water are inclusive of the cost of a Check-Out appointment.
