Inventory & Check-In Service
Protect Your Investment Before Your Tenant Moves In
One of the most important documents created before a tenancy begins is the Inventory & Check-In Report. This detailed record provides an accurate snapshot of the property’s condition, fixtures, fittings and contents at the start of the tenancy.
At Yes Properties, we arrange professional Inventory & Check-In services designed to protect both landlords and tenants by creating an independent record that can be referred to throughout the tenancy and at check-out.
A professionally prepared inventory can help minimise disputes, support fair deposit deductions where appropriate and provide peace of mind for everyone involved.
What Is an Inventory & Check-In Report?
An Inventory & Check-In Report records the condition of the property before the tenant moves in.
The report normally includes detailed written descriptions supported by high-quality photographs, recording the condition of every room, fixture, fitting and supplied item.
During the check-in appointment, the tenant is taken through the report, keys are handed over and meter readings are recorded where appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need an inventory?
Without a detailed inventory, it can be much more difficult to demonstrate changes to the property’s condition at the end of a tenancy.
Is the inventory independent?
Yes. We arrange professionally prepared inventories that accurately record the property’s condition at the start of the tenancy.
Do tenants receive a copy?
Yes. The tenant is normally provided with the inventory and given an opportunity to review and comment in accordance with the agreed process.
Does it include photographs?
Absolutely. High-quality photographs form an important part of the report and provide additional evidence of the property’s condition.
