Inventory
The new government regulations mean that every tenant's deposit must be held and protected in either an insured or a bonded scheme. A professionally compiled inventory will provide vital documentary evidence of the condition of your property at the start and end of a tenancy. An Inventory is a key element in the letting process, detailing properly and accurately - not only the contents of the property but, of equal importance, the descriptive condition of every item including doors, walls, ceiling, lights and so on. Such descriptions of condition and content can appear unwelcome, however when it comes to disputes will provide any evidence of any damage or liable to cleaning costs.

If there is no inventory, it will almost be impossible for landlords to make a claim for damage, repair or replacement costs against a tenant. Similarly, if there is an inventory but it has not been compiled with adequate notes on fixtures and fittings or comment made on the condition, tenants may find that they will be charged for something that is not their responsibility.

Laing Bennett uses the following company for inventories:
