Â
A property check-out report serves as a crucial document that holds significant importance for both landlords and tenants alike. As a comprehensive record of the property's condition at the end of a tenancy, its value extends far beyond a mere checklist of items.
Our check-out reports are produced to be compliant with the highest industry standards. We inspect the condition of the property, its cleanliness and fixtures and fittings. We also take the meter readings and test the smoke alarms. Our detailed check-out reports are also supported with high-resolution photographs for robust before and after comparison.
Our check-out reports are paperless and signed for by all tenants digitally using a touchscreen phone, tablet or PC. Making the whole process quick and easy for all parties involved.

A property check-out report serves as a crucial document that holds significant importance for both landlords and tenants alike. As a comprehensive record of the property's condition at the end of a tenancy, its value extends far beyond a mere checklist of items.
​
First and foremost, the check-out report ensures fairness in the rental process. It provides an unbiased and impartial assessment of the property, detailing any changes, damages, or cleanliness issues compared to the state documented in the initial inventory report. This transparency helps prevent misunderstandings and disputes between landlords and tenants regarding the return of the security deposit.
​
​In essence, a property check-out report is more than just a formality—it is a vital tool that promotes transparency, fairness, and accountability in the rental process. It provides a clear and documented snapshot of the property's condition, protecting the interests of both landlords and tenants and facilitating a smoother transition at the end of a tenancy agreement.
