Checkout
When proposing deductions from your tenants deposit, adjudicators will rely heavily on the inventory and schedule of condition, the checkout report and the conditions placed on the landlord and tenant under the tenancy agreement.
Clearview can carry out the Check-out Inspection with or without your tenants being present. If we book this Inspection directly with the tenants, we will contact them confirming the appointment and provide them with general guidelines as to how the property should be left.
During the Check-out our clerk will directly compare the condition of the property with that recorded on the Inventory and Check-in Report from an unbiased and independent viewpoint. All changes to the property, above fair wear and tear, will be noted and where possible photographed; the report will make comparison to the same item’s condition on the Inventory.
Using this information, the Agent/Landlord can fairly assign any possible costs for repairs and/or cleaning required at the property. This evidence-based report is provided from a completely unbiased viewpoint.
The Check-out report will include:
- A record/photograph of the keys returned by the Tenant(s).
- Confirmation that all appliances have been switched off.
- Confirmation that all windows /doors are locked and secure.
- Confirmation of any cleaning receipts provided by the Tenant(s).
- Meter readings, serial numbers and positions.
- Location/type and (where possible) testing of smoke detectors and heat alarms.
- Location and (where possible) testing of Carbon Monoxide alarms.
- Any instruction manuals present in the property.
- Confirmation of cleanliness.
The final report will be produced and delivered electronically to specified parties the same day as standard.
