Leading Property Inventory Services in Canterbury

Inventory Management

Inventory management is used to protect landlords and property professionals from any change from the start of the tenancy to the end, such as damage to the property. Many processes and reports are put in place to ensure a landlord’s investment is safeguarded.

These reports are made accessible to both tenant and landlord, forming part of the contract. This provides the critical evidence required to ensure landlords or property agents can recover costs against any claims lodged by the tenant, or against a zero-deposit replacement insurance. No Letting Go’s Canterbury property inventory services provide these critical reports.

Inventory management consists of the following reports:

• Inventory and schedule of condition
• Check in
• Property visit (mid-term inspection)
• Check out

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Inspections and Installation

Due to new regulations introduced in October 2015, all landlords are now required to install smoke and carbon monoxide alarms on each floor of a property. These are a non-compulsory and non-compliance can result in a £5,000 fine.

Therefore, all landlords must provide evidence that all alarms have been tested and are working at the start of each tenancy. No Letting Go’s Canterbury property inventory services will ensure that you meet these regulations. We will check that your alarms are in the correct location and are working when tenants move in. If necessary, we will also install new ones.

The following No Letting Go reports have a safety section that guarantees you will meet the smoke and carbon monoxide regulations:

• Inventory and schedule of condition
• Check in
• Property Visits
• Vacant property inspections
• Management information inspections
• Check outs

Property Visit (Mid Term Inspection)

Our Canterbury property inventory services also provide mid-term inspections.

These are the visits and subsequent report carried out by No Letting Go, or by the agent using Kaptur software. These inspections take place typically every 3-4 months during the tenancy. These check that the property is being maintained properly, ensure the tenants are adhering to their contract and checks whether any damage has been done to the property. These inspections also ensure that the tenants are satisfied.

The report that comes as part of the inspection is a critical pieces of evidence protecting you against section 21 6A notices. They are also invaluable pieces of evidence against ongoing tenant complaints, particularly important for challenging any disputes at the end of a tenancy.

Legionella Risk Assessment 

Current legislation under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 imposes a legal duty on all managing agents and landlords (duty holders) to ensure the health and safety of all staff, tenants and members of the public.

It was updated in 2014 to include all residential properties that contain water systems, meaning landlords must ensure they carry out water checks. Anyone alleged to be in breach of this will have committed a crime.

As a result, a risk assessment must be carried out to identify and assess the exposure to legionella bacteria in water systems on the premises. This assessment must also identify any precautionary measures needed. The duty holder is responsible for ensuring this risk assessment is carried out.

No Letting Go’s Canterbury property inventory services provide legionella risk assessment visits to the local area. All inspectors are City and Guilds qualified and will provide clear, comprehensive reports, explaining what action a landlord needs to take to meet safety requirements, if any. This service will also advise tenants of their responsibilities under the act.
