PROPERTY CONDITION SPECIALIST
What is a property condition report?
A Property Condition Report in the context of a property (like a rental property) is a detailed document that records the condition of the property, including fixtures and fittings, at the point of handover, serving as evidence of its state before a tenant moves in or when they move out. This comprehensive record includes written descriptions and photographic evidence, ensuring an accurate representation of the property’s state and conditions.
Our report offers clarity and a peace of mind to tenants or landlord preventing potential disputes between landlords and tenants, hence fostering a good relationship between all stakeholders. Throughout the tenancy period, both parties retain copies of the condition report.
Upon the tenancy’s conclusion, another inspection and report may be conducted, allowing for a thorough comparison of the property’s condition over the duration of the lease. This comparative assessment empowers both landlords and tenants with clear insights into any changes or developments in the property’s state during the tenancy period.
Why a property condition report is important?
Protecting Landlords:
A thorough condition report protects landlords from tenants falsely claiming damages that were already present before they moved in.
Protecting Tenants:
Tenants are also protected, as they can use the report to dispute any deductions from their security deposit for damages that were already present or for fair wear and tear.
Clear Expectations:
By having a clear and documented record of the property's initial state, both parties can avoid any future misunderstandings or disputes regarding the property's condition.
