Check-In Inventory Report Birmingham & West Midlands

A detailed move-in report with photos and clear condition notes, completed at the start of a tenancy.

Overview

ClearKey Inventories provides professional check-in inventory reports in Birmingham and across the West Midlands. This service combines a full inventory report with the formal check-in process, ensuring condition, contents and overall property standards are clearly recorded and agreed. A check-in records the condition of the property on the day the tenant moves in and notes any variations from the original inventory, creating an agreed baseline at the start of the tenancy.

Our clerk records cleanliness, takes meter readings, logs keys/fobs provided and captures the tenant’s agreement and signature where required. Supported by clear notes and photographic evidence, our check-in reports help landlords and letting agents reduce disputes and improve transparency for all parties.
