An inventory report is needed so that both tenants and landlords mutually understand the condition of a property at the start of a tenancy. The document is vital when coming to the end of the tenancy as it will be used to note the differences in condition and where the liabilities lie for any cleaning, damage or general delapidations to a property.

A checkin report is needed to mutually agree with the tenant the condition of the property at the start of the tenancy. It's also used as a check list to make sure all keys are correct, smoke/CO2 alarms are working, rent and deposit has been paid, meter readings have been taken and a signature has been provided to confirm all has been checked.

A checkout report is needed to outline the condition of a property at the end of a tenancy. The report should highlight differences in condition from the commencement of the tenancy to that of the end. This document is also used if tenants raise a dispute with the deposit scheme against any costs proposed by agents or landlords.

We are based in Leeds and generally cover a 30 mile radius which includes a large part of yorkshire. Our published prices are extreamly competative so we need to be mindful of the distance we travel, firstly to collect keys and then travel time to and from appointments. We will however consider any area subject to negotiation of an appropriate fee.

You can call on any of our numbers or email us on our contact page or direct on enquiries@sp-ps.co.uk. Emailing is probably the best method as we can check where our consultants are and give you an accurate appointment time. Please state the property address, where keys are held and the type of appointment required.

We aim to get the report to you within 24 hours of our visit and 48 hours of your instruction. To speed up the process we can also visit properties in the evening and at weekends, if keys can be made available. Reports are generally emailed but a paper copy can be made available on request.

Yes: We offer this as an additional service. Often negotiations between landlords and tenants about the responsibility of cleaning and repairs is awkward and embarrasing! Tenants may not have read their tenancy agreement in detail and dont realise their responsibilities. Demands for payment by the landlords can often esculate into arguments/disputes and unpleasant situations. We are totally independant so can point out the legal responsibilities for both parties and avoid landlords and tenants "falling out" or raising a dispute. The cost of this service will depend on the complexitiy of a case.

Yes: The purpose of a detailed report is to have evidence at "a point in time" which can then be compared to previous reports, outlining any difference in condition. Landlords and tenants may not remember the precise condition of a property at the point of inspection so a detailed report generally records the condition to avoid any disputes.

Our standard terms of business are payment within 30 days of appointment.
