The Premises means the house, flat or other property the contents of which are to be listed in the Inventory.
The inventory means the list of items at the Property to be prepared in accordance with the following Conditions.

Items are visually identified by its original manufactured name, material used in the production, or the period produced.
- The Inventory does not purport to be a record for valuation purposes of the Premises and or its contents, nor is it a guarantee of, or report of, the adequacy of, or safety of any equipment or contents, it is a listing that such items exist in the property and the superficial condition.
- The Inventory will be compiled on the basis that unless stated listed items are in good condition, free from obvious soiling, damage or defects. Significant defects will usually be damage, usage or soiling that might constitute a dilapidation charge at termination of the Tenancy of the Premises.
- The Inventory may state when any item of furniture and furnishings has been seen to have a label advising that it complies with the Furniture & Furnishing (Fire) (Safety) Regulation 1988, as amended 1993 and it should not be assumed that other items not stated, comply with this regulation. Compliance with UK Fire Regulations is the responsibility of the Owner/Managing Agent and not A.A.Inventories. It is recommended that all bedding, soft furnishings, or any item filled/padded be checked and any gas appliance also, that they comply with current regulations. Regulations on furniture purchased in another country may not meet UK Regulations. It is the Owner/Agents responsibility to ensure that items comply with the UK relevant regulations.
- Electrical items will be tested for power only, unless the Clerk deems testing unsafe. Items must be complete with plugs, flexes and bulbs, unless otherwise specified.
- Floor coverings, rugs and carpets will be inspected to the extent that they are sufficiently clean so that burns, stains and other damage can be ascertained.
- Bed
linen, towels and other similar items will be inspected to the extent that
they are freshly laundered and will be counted only and not inspected in
great detail. Heavily soiled items may not be fully examined by the Clerk.
- Mattresses will be inspected where accessible and will not be examined should the bed be made up.
- The Inventory Preparation, Check-in or Check-out will be compiled by the Clerk assuming that the Clerk is able to do so without moving any fixtures and fittings or large and heavy items of furniture that the Clerk is unable to or that which is considered fragile or unsafe to move.
- The Inventory applies to the items in the parts of the Premises that are readily accessible and excludes items in lofts attics or cellars and such places considered by the Clerk to be unsafe. Nor will the Clerk undertake to search through overcrowded drawers or cupboards to either locate or enumerate items.
- Houseplants, garden plants or garden livestock e.g. fish ponds, will not be included in the Inventory. Contents of garden sheds or garages other than garden tools will not be listed unless they are considered to be of value in excess of £20. The other items may be grouped.
- Animals are not usually permitted in rented properties, but occasionally landlords will give permission. They will expect any damage internal or external to be made good, any soft furnishings may need additional cleaning.
- Blue tack nor picture hooks/nails should not be used on the walls and any damage caused will incur additional charges from the landlord.
- At termination of tenancy receipts may be required for items that have been professionally cleaned.
- It is the responsibility of the landlord and the tenant to agree the accuracy of the inventory and the tenant should check all electrical appliances and report any defects to the Managing Agent.
- Windows are not checked to see whether they open or not, it is the Tenant’s responsibility to report on non-opening windows.
- Smoke detectors and security alarms are not tested and are not the responsibility of A. A. Inventories.
- An additional charge may be applied when carrying out the Check-out procedure at the end of the Tenancy if any items have been moved to different rooms after the original Inventory was prepared.
- If the Clerk is unable to obtain access to the Premises at the time agreed and the place agreed with the instructor, or within a reasonable period of time thereafter there will be no further obligation under the Terms of the Contract save the entitlement to invoice the other party the proportion of the Fee that would have been payable had the instruction been completed.
- No part may be reproduced of the Inventory, Check-in Report, or Check-Out Report without the written permission of Anne Shevlin of A.A.Inventories.
- A.A.Inventories shall be entitled to invoice the person or persons or company who has given instruction. If the instructions to prepare the Inventory are given by a letting Agent this contract is deemed to be made between A.A.Inventories and the letting agent as principal and the invoice rendered to and payable by the letting agent unless agreed in writing with A.A.Inventories. If the invoice has not been paid in full within 14 days of receipt then without prejudice to any other right or remedy of A.A.Inventories shall be entitled to charge interest on the amount unpaid at the rate 1% above the base rate as set by Lloyds Bank on the date of the invoice, compounded weekly from the date of the invoice until payment is made in full.
Notes & Guidance for Tenants
General
All items on the inventory are assumed to be in good, clean and undamaged order unless qualified in brackets within the inventory.
All items should be placed in rooms described on the inventory. It is the tenant’s responsibility to return all items to their original position at the end of the tenancy. Should the Inventory Clerk have to search for items it may result in charges being made to the tenant. Heavy items of furniture that have been moved should also be returned to their correct positions.
The Managing Agent or Landlord must be informed of any items removed from, or added to the property. Failure to do so may result in charges being made for replacing of items removed and disposure of items left. Permission must be received in writing from the Managing Agent or Landlord for any items to be left at the property.
It is expected that the property will be in similar condition of cleanliness as at check-in.
Cleaning
This must be thorough. The main areas of concern are:
Sanitary ware, windows, hard floors, woodwork, kitchen appliances, including kitchen units, shelves, ovens, cooker hoods and refrigerators, wardrobes and drawers units, linens and bedding.
If the standard of cleaning is not satisfactory, most
Managing Agents or Landlords will employ a contract cleaner and their account
will be added to any charges shown on the Check-out Report.
Carpets
All carpets should be thoroughly vacuumed. Depending on the agreement and/or length of tenancy they should be professionally cleaned. You will be charged to clean any staining or soiling.
Compensatory costs will be made towards any further damage
such as stains or cigarette burns. If a carpet is badly marked or damaged you
may be charged for part or all of the cost of replacement.
Crockery, China
& Utensils
These items will be checked for soiling, chips, burn marks,
loose handles to pans and such like. If damage has occurred beyond fair wear
and tear, compensatory or replacement costs will be added to the Check-out
Report. All china, glassware, kitchen utensils etc, should be clean and
accessible. Any packed away during the tenancy must be unpacked, cleaned and
returned to the correct position.
Decorations
It is accepted that during the course of normal day-to-day
living, a few marks and scuffs will appear on walls and woodwork. However,
should the marking be found to be excessive, charges may be added to the
Check-out Report.
Beds
Beds, (bases and mattresses), and pillows will be examined
for staining and damage not previously recorded on the inventory. Charges will
be made in the form of cleaning charges, compensation or a percentage of the
replacement cost as appropriate. Beds should not be made up as they need to be
examined. Bedding and linen should be clean and placed neatly in the airing
cupboard or appropriate room.
Polished Furniture
Polished furniture will be checked for scratches, ring
marks, burns, soiling and damage to joints and charges made as appropriate.
Repair costs and re-polishing costs are high. It is in your interest to take
steps to protect furniture with mats etc.
Soft Furnishings
It is expected that these will be in a similar condition to
the start of the tenancy. Any staining, soiling and excessive discolouration
will attract cleaning charges.
Gardens
If the owner has not employed a gardener at the property, you will be required to maintain the garden. This includes the cutting of lawns, weeding of beds and maintaining the garden according to the season. This may include trimming bushes and shrubs, but it is suggested that this is confirmed with the Managing Agent prior to taking action as they may need specialist treatment.
If the standard of the garden is found to be untidy, compared with the commencement of tenancy, most Managing Agents or Landlords will employ a contract gardener and their account will be added to the Check-out Report.
Check-Out
Appointment
It is most important:-
ALL cleaning has been completed prior to this time.
ALL personal items have been removed.
ALL keys are made available.
The property is ready
to be handed over and the tenant ready to vacate.
If you are not ready to leave, it may not be possible to carry out the Check-out. In this case a return visit will be necessary and a charge will be added to the Check-out Report.
The Inventory Clerk acts as an independent and reasonable body and will avoid any unnecessary criticism or derogatory comments when compiling or checking the inventory.
At the termination of the tenancy the inventory will be checked and any obvious or significant discrepancies will be reported to the Managing Agent/Landlord. The report will indicate whether in our opinion the tenant is liable for the deterioration or whether it is considered fair wear and tear. Normal fair wear and tear will be assessed on the length of tenancy and type of occupancy.
