Answers to Common Questions
What does a property inventory report include?
An inventory typically records the condition and contents of a property, using written descriptions and photographs. The precise scope and format should be confirmed when booking.
How does a check-out report compare with the original inventory?
A check-out report records the property’s condition at the end of a tenancy and compares it with the original inventory, taking fair wear and tear into account.
What happens during a mid-term inspection?
A mid-term inspection reviews the general condition of an occupied rental property and may flag maintenance concerns. Access, scope and reporting arrangements are agreed in advance.
What does an independent damp survey involve?
A damp survey considers visible symptoms, building conditions and possible moisture sources. The appropriate investigation depends on the property and the issue reported.
Is condensation always a sign of rising damp?
No. Condensation, penetrating moisture and ground-related damp have different potential causes. An assessment should investigate the evidence before reaching conclusions.
Do I need a damp survey if there is no visible damp?
Not necessarily. A survey may be useful where there are persistent odours, recurring condensation, historic moisture concerns or questions arising during a property purchase.
