All of our Inventory Reports are professionally compiled in accordance with the recognised industry standards and can be tailored to your requirements. All of our reports include narrative descriptions, which we combine with digital coloured photographs.
We undertake a full inventory inspection itemising the fixtures, fittings and contents. A thorough, detailed and professional inspection would also record the condition of the property and any furnishings, if applicable.
At Check-In we can arrange to meet your tenant at the rental property. This service can be arranged either on or prior to the start of the tenancy. Baillie Inventories will discuss the Inventory Report with the tenant and obtain their signature. We will also, where possible, take the electricity and /or gas meter readings and agree with your tenant. We can also list and hand over the key to the property, should you require us to do so.
When a property is let, it is beneficial to both the Landlord and the Tenant to keep things running as smoothly as possible. Effective communication is very important and any issues relating to the property need to be sorted out not only quickly, but also in a way that is fair to both parties. Both Landlords and Tenants can benefit from our Interim Reports service which can be arranged once a Tenancy is underway, at an appropriate interval to suit your requirements. An Interim Report will detail any changes in the condition of the property’s fixtures and fittings. This can alert Landlords to any damage that may have occurred due to faulty equipment, such as a leaky washing machine or perhaps possible mistreatment of furniture or carpets.
An Interim Report can alert both Landlords and Tenants to any potential liabilities that they themselves may be responsible for. By dealing with any such things early on, both parties can take the necessary steps to resolve matters in order to avoid unexpected and costly problems which may become worse during the remainder of the Tenancy.
At Check-Out we visit the rental property at the end of the Tenancy either with or without the Tenant present. The property is inspected throughout and a note is made of any differences between the present condition of the property and that described on the Inventory Report which was compiled before the start of the Tenancy.
The Check-Out Report is compiled and will include specific details with regard to the general condition and cleanliness of the property. We will also note any items that are now broken, damaged or missing from the property.
Where possible we will take the meter readings and if the Tenant is present, we can accept the return of the property’s keys on behalf of the Agent/Landlord. The Check-Out Report will be sent to the Agent/Landlord within 48 hours via email.
