Everyone agrees on the importance of the inventory but quality of inventory provision varies greatly across the industry. Success in deposit disputes is usually dependent on the quality of the inventory and the schedule of condition. A professional and diligent approach is essential in ensuring that tenants and landlords avoid financial loss.
Membership of ARLA Inventories is a clear demonstration to letting agents, landlords and tenants that an inventory provider is an accredited/qualified professional who meets the highest industry standards.
“A properly prepared and comprehensive inventory sets the scene for what is provided by the landlord at the start of the tenancy. It therefore plays a significant role in protecting both landlord and tenant. A detailed inventory will help avoid disputes, whilst any such dispute that does arise about missing contents or condition of the property at the end of the tenancy can be more easily resolved.” Chris Hamer, Former Property Ombudsman
