Property inventories in Birkenhead
We carry out inventory reports, check-ins, mid-term inspections and check-out reports for landlords and letting agents in Birkenhead and the surrounding areas. Reports are sent the same day, and we work 7 days a week from 08:00 to 20:00.
Rented homes we inspect in Birkenhead
Birkenhead has a large number of rented flats. Some are in modern blocks near the town centre, and many are in large Victorian houses that have been divided into flats, particularly around Oxton and Claughton. In a converted house, the inventory has to be clear about what belongs to the flat and what is shared, such as hallways, stairs, bin stores, entry phones and meter cupboards.
There are also streets of terraced houses in Tranmere, Rock Ferry and around the town centre, and more semi-detached family homes in Prenton and Woodchurch. For houses, the report covers gardens, yards, sheds and fences as well as the rooms.
What an inventory in Birkenhead includes
The inventory is a dated, room-by-room record of the property at the start of the tenancy. It includes:
- Descriptions of decoration, flooring, fixtures and fittings in each room
- Photographs of every room and any existing damage or wear
- Furniture and appliances for furnished lets
- Gas, electricity and water meter readings
- A record of the keys handed over
The report is sent the same day as the visit, ready to share with the tenant.
Booking an inventory in Birkenhead
Letting agents and landlords book by phone or email. Send the address, the number of bedrooms, whether it is furnished and the date needed. We can collect keys from your office or meet the tenant at the property. For flats, it helps to tell us where the meters are and whether there is a communal entry code. When a flat is going straight to a new tenant, we can complete the check-out and the new inventory on one visit.
We also cover the areas around Birkenhead, including Oxton, Prenton, Claughton, Tranmere, Rock Ferry, Woodchurch and Bebington, as well as Wallasey and the rest of the Wirral.
Deposit disputes and check-out reports in Birkenhead
Tenancy deposits in England are protected with one of three government-approved schemes: TDS, DPS or mydeposits. When a tenant disputes a deduction, the scheme's adjudicator compares the evidence, and the inventory and check-out report are the room-by-room record of what changed. Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019 the landlord or agent pays for these reports, and we write them impartially so they are fair to both sides.
For longer tenancies, a mid-term inspection shows how the property is being looked after, with photographs and notes on any maintenance needed, before the check-out comes round. It can also help show when a problem first appeared.
