An inventory is an essential part of any letting agreement. If used correctly, they can significantly reduce the risk of any dispute resulting from damages and/or repairs or replacements at the end of the tenancy period.

A poorly prepared inventory can prove to be a costly mistake for a landlord and make it impossible for the Private Residential Tenancy Board (www.prtb.ie) to determine any loss or damage to your property or its contents. In such cases the PRTB will tend to give tenants the benefit of doubt - a properly prepared inventory ensures that tenants are aware of their reponsibilities from the start of the tenancy.

WEB Letting inventories are produced in-house by our own employed and specially selected consultant Property Inspectors. All are suitably experienced assessors in this line of work, that have undertaken extensive training to ensure a professional service for you.

WEB Lettings inventory service is a complete report that records the condition, fixtures and fittings of a property. Our Property Inspector will work through your property systematically recording a comprehensive description of the room and its condition.

Your inventory report contains:

 

1. A one page summary of the contents of the property

2. Our unique high definition DVD record of your property 

 


Our Property Inspector will ensure that a comprehensive service is carried out to the highest professional standards. Our high definition DVD is an invaluable record of the state of your property when first let and could prove to be an essential guarantee for you in the event of a deposit dispute involving you, the landlord on the one side, and the tenant/PRTB on the other hand.

Once the inspection is complete, the report is compiled and signed off by the respective Property Inspector, and where necessary, amendments are made to the report before it is sent to you.

We retain a copy of your inventory document from each visit to ensure every report contains the most up-to-date information and allows you a simple, easy to use reference document every time an inventory is undertaken.

  Why do I need an Inventory?

Renting property can be a tricky business, for both landlords and tenants. A poorly prepared inventory can prove to be costly for the landlord and make it impossible for the PRTB to determine any loss or damage to the property or its contents.

What is the answer? Using a professional inventory service from check-in to check-out is the solution. This protects both parties - saving time, hassle, and money.

WEB Lettings takes detailed and accurate records of the condition and contents of a property before it is rented out by a landlord.
Our inventory clerk will return to the property with the new tenants before the commencement of the tenancy to go through the inventory (i.e. the check in).

When the tenancy expires, our inventory clerk will return to the property to compare the original condition with the end-of-tenancy condition (i.e. the check out). The refund of the tenant's full deposit is usually dependent upon the state in which he or she leaves the property, excluding fair wear and tear.

What is noted in an Inventory?

When so instructed by the landlord to prepare an inventory, the inventory produced by WEB Lettings forms part of the legal contract between the landlord and tenant as both parties. This is in the interests of the tenant and the landlord. There is less chance for problems to occur when the tenant is leaving the property if everything is noted in a detailed and efficient manner in the first place.

The inventory will list everything included in the property. This includes the doors and locks, ceiling, walls, light fittings, flooring and carpets, blinds and curtains, smoke detectors, door frames, plug sockets, cupboards, door handles, extractor fans and heating appliances - to name but a few.

As well as these fixtures and fittings, any furniture belonging to the landlord will be included with descriptions of the condition. Any marks, chips, or damage is included next to each description, so that the tenant is not responsible for any damage already caused... WEB Lettings also include utility readings - gas, electricity and where possible water. 

What are the advantages of using WEB Lettings for your inventories?

If you are a landlord, hiring WEB Lettings can save you a lot of time and many problems. Our professional service means that you have the peace of mind knowing that nothing is missed off the inventory - our digital HD (High Definition) camcorder will record even the most minor of details.

Employing WEB Lettings can also ensure that any disputes at the end of a tenancy are resolved fairly without the need for the matter to be referred to the PRTB. For example, stains or damages to a carpet recorded during a check out cannot be considered as fair wear and tear, therefore, is the responsibility of the tenant.
