What Our South East London Clients Say

Inventory Service

What sets our inventory services in South East London apart from the rest?

Every report produced by our South East London clerks includes:

  • Room-by-room written condition notes: Each room is recorded individually. Walls, ceilings, flooring, skirting boards, windows, doors and all fitted elements are described in plain language. Existing marks, chips or scuffs are noted at the time of inspection so they cannot later be attributed to the incoming tenant.
  • Timestamped photographic documentation: Every written condition note is supported by images captured on the day of inspection. These photographs carry legal weight in deposit adjudications and provide a visual record that written descriptions alone cannot replicate.
  • Appliance and fixture records: Integrated appliances, heating controls, boiler details, smoke alarms and all fitted fittings are logged with condition notes. Where make and model information is visible, this is also recorded.
  • Utility readings and key handover log: Gas, electricity and water meter readings are captured at both check-in and check-out. All keys, fobs and access cards are counted and documented to prevent ambiguity at the end of the tenancy.

Compliance and Documentation Services for South East London Rental Properties

Alongside inventory services, Fantastic Services provides a wider range of property compliance and documentation support for South East London landlords and agents. Each service is delivered to the same standard of accreditation and reliability.

Inventory Reports
A full written record of the property's contents and condition, compiled by an independent, certified clerk. Covers every room with written notes and photographs, records meter readings and documents key transfers. Formatted to satisfy all major UK deposit protection schemes including the DPS, TDS and MyDeposits.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)
South East London landlords are required by law to hold a valid EPC before a property can be advertised for rent. Our accredited domestic energy assessors conduct the full RdSAP survey and issue a certificate valid for ten years. The certificate also includes practical improvement recommendations that are relevant to the property as assessed.
Gas Safety Certificates
Every landlord with gas appliances in a rental property must arrange an annual gas safety inspection by a Gas Safe registered engineer. We handle the visit and inspect all relevant appliances, pipework and flues, issuing the CP12 landlord gas safety record on completion. Providing this to tenants before they move in is a legal obligation, not an option.
Property Photography
Quality photography shortens the time a property sits vacant. Our specialist property photographers work across South East London, producing images that show the property clearly and at its genuine standard. Good photography attracts more relevant enquiries and reduces the number of wasted viewings for both agents and landlords.
Architectural Floor Planning
Floor plans reduce the volume of speculative enquiries by helping applicants assess layout and room sizes before requesting a viewing. We produce accurate 2D and 3D residential floor plans across South East London for use in lettings listings and sales particulars.
End of Tenancy Cleaning
The condition a property is left in at the end of a tenancy is one of the most common causes of deposit disputes. A professional deep clean ensures the incoming tenant receives the property in the condition documented in the check-in report. Our teams follow agent-approved cleaning checklists across all rooms, including kitchens, bathrooms and carpeted areas.

Inventory Questions We Are Regularly Asked by South East London Landlords

If you are planning your first inventory inspection or considering switching from your current provider, these are the questions we hear most often from landlords and agents in the area.

Does a furnished property in South East London need a more detailed inventory than an unfurnished one?
Yes, in practical terms. An unfurnished property still requires a full condition report covering walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, fitted appliances and all fixtures. A furnished property adds every item of furniture, soft furnishing and moveable item to that baseline. The clerk records the condition and quantity of each piece. Furnished inventories take longer and produce a longer document, which is reflected in pricing when you request a quote.
Who actually owns the inventory report once it has been compiled?
The report is commissioned by and provided to the person or agent who booked the inspection. In most cases that is the landlord or the managing agent acting on their behalf. The completed inventory belongs to the instructing party. Both landlord and tenant should receive a copy, and the tenant should be given a reasonable period to review and sign the document before it is treated as agreed.
My South East London property has a garden and outbuildings. Are these included?
Yes. External areas including gardens, patios, sheds, garages and outbuildings are included in the inspection where they form part of the tenancy. The clerk will document the condition of the garden, any external structures and their contents, and note the state of paving, fencing and external fixtures. This is particularly relevant in South East London where larger period houses often come with significant external areas that can be a source of end-of-tenancy disputes.
What is a mid-term inspection and when would I need one?
A mid-term inspection is carried out during an active tenancy, typically every six to twelve months, to assess the general condition of the property and whether it is being maintained in accordance with the tenancy agreement. It is not a formal inventory but rather a condition check that allows a landlord to identify any maintenance issues early, address concerns about upkeep, and create a dated record of the property's state mid-tenancy. In South East London, where some tenancies run for several years, mid-term checks are a sensible part of portfolio management.
Can a landlord compile their own inventory rather than using an independent clerk?
Technically yes, but it carries real risk. Tenancy deposit scheme adjudicators apply a lower level of weight to landlord-compiled inventories because the landlord is not a neutral party. An independent, accredited clerk provides an objective account that is far more likely to be accepted as reliable evidence. In contested cases, a landlord-compiled inventory is routinely challenged on grounds of impartiality, and claims based on it are frequently reduced or rejected.
Do you cover new-build properties in South East London, including those under developer lettings?
Yes. New build properties require just as thorough an inventory as older stock, sometimes more so, because they often come with a full specification of included appliances, fitted wardrobes and flooring that all need to be documented precisely. For developer lettings or build-to-rent schemes in South East London, we can work with the developer or managing agent to align the inspection with the tenancy commencement schedule.
How quickly can I get a check-out report turned around if there is a dispute in progress?
Standard turnaround for a completed check-out report is within 24 to 48 hours of the inspection. If there is an active or anticipated deposit dispute, mention this when booking. We will flag the urgency and aim to prioritise delivery. Having the check-out report in hand quickly is important because deposit scheme submission deadlines apply once the tenancy has ended and the deposit has been formally disputed.
