Most Deposit Claims Are Won or Lost Before the Tenancy Even Starts 🏡

Most landlords know they need to protect the deposit.

Far fewer have the evidence needed to justify deductions at the end of the tenancy.

Have you got all of the above in place?

The Renters' Rights Act is set to bring significant changes to the private rental sector.

While much of the conversation focuses on the abolition of Section 21, landlords and agents should also be thinking about something else...

📸 Evidence.

Here's why property reporting is becoming more important than ever:

✔️ Stronger tenant rights may lead to more challenges regarding property condition

Detailed reporting helps create a clear record of the property's condition at the start of the tenancy and throughout its duration. This can be invaluable if questions arise later about damage, cleanliness, maintenance or repairs.

✔️ Landlords may need to rely more heavily on documented evidence

Whether it's property damage, unauthorised pets, smoking, neglect or tenancy breaches, independent reporting provides evidence that can support decision-making and dispute resolution.

✔️ Landlords will need to be more proactive

The Renters' Rights Act encourages a move away from reactive property management. Rather than discovering issues at the end of a tenancy, Interim Inspections help identify concerns early, allowing landlords and agents to take action before problems escalate.

✔️ Greater focus on property standards

The Act places greater emphasis on tenants' rights to live in safe, well-maintained homes. Detailed reporting helps demonstrate the condition of the property, that inspections have taken place, and that any issues have been identified and reported appropriately.

✔️ Longer tenancies make ongoing reporting more important

As tenants are expected to stay in properties for longer, there may be fewer opportunities to assess and document condition between occupancies. Regular Interim Inspections become increasingly valuable as issues can develop gradually over time.

The Renters' Rights Act doesn't make Inventories optional. If anything, it makes them more important than ever.

Farmhouses, cottages, listed homes- all full of character, but they need a slightly different approach when it comes to inventories. 🏡

With older properties, it’s not just about how they look- it’s about understanding how they behave over time.

Things we’re paying close attention to:

• Single-glazed windows (more prone to cracks and draughts)

• Ventilation and signs of condensation or damp

• Fireplaces and whether they’ve been properly maintained (working fireplaces legally require carbon monoxide alarms and should have their chimneys swept at least once yearly to prevent fires)

• Uneven flooring and natural movement

• Age and condition of boilers and systems

• External issues like guttering that can lead to internal damage

A lot of these aren’t obvious at first glance, but they’re exactly the kinds of details that can cause confusion or disputes later on if they’re not properly recorded.

Avoiding disputes isn’t just about protecting deposits- it saves time, stress, and often strained relationships between landlords and tenants.

Clear, detailed reporting helps set expectations from the beginning and keeps things straightforward at the end.

We have the time, care, and understanding to properly document your properties. 💚

Here’s a round up of some of the more unexpected finds from doing inventories… 👀

1. The grooviest ceiling I’ve ever seen 🌴

2. An antique organ 🎶

3. An original butler’s bell 🛎️

4. A rooftop terrace overlooking the iconic Brighton pier 🎡

5. A bread oven that was apparently once linked to the Archbishop of Canterbury (still not over that one). 🥖

6. A home decorated with 100’s of old newspaper clippings 📰

7. A Victorian-era pump 🛁

As interesting as these features are, they still need to be documented properly- the quirky bits don’t get a free pass!

One thing this job has taught me… you never really know what’s behind the next door. 💚
