This inventory report is prepared as an as seen snapshot of the property and its contents at the time
of the designated inspection and is compiled as a fair and accurate record for the properties internal
condition and contents. This does not form any part of a valuation or structural report.
This inventory is compiled on the basis that all items listed are in good order and clean. Any defects or
soiling are noted where appropriate. Where inspections are carried out and the tenants belongings
are in situ, it can be difficult for clerks to differentiate to that belonging to the landlord or tenant.
Should the report contain inaccuracies the clerk (Duchy Inventories) will not be held responsible.
The clerk preparing the inventory is not an expert in electrical appliances, antiques, furniture style,
fabrics, flooring, etc. All descriptions within this report are for identification purposes only in order
that each item can be compared to its condition at the commencement of the tenancy.
We do not undertake to move heavy items of furniture or access lofts, high-level cupboards, or any
other inaccessible places. Contents which have been left in the above-mentioned areas, which have
not been inventoried, are the sole responsibility on the landlord. We also do not undertake to open
windows, but will confirm whether keys have been seen or not.
Any electrical appliances tested will be for power only and only where practicable. Boilers, Heating
Systems, Gas Fires, Water Supply and Radiators are not tested, and Duchy Inventories will not take
any responsibility for units left either on or off even if on automatic timers.
The relevant utility companies must check all meter readings, as we cannot be held responsible for any
discrepancies. We are not held liable should meters not be located or inaccessible to read. For
Health and Safety reasons we do not expect our clerks to access high level areas which involve using
ladders/chairs.
The Fire & safety Regulations regarding furnishings, gas, electrical & similar services are ultimately the
responsibility of the instructing principal. Where the inventory notes FFR label seen, this should not be
interpreted to mean that the item complies with the furniture & furnishings (fire) (safety)
(Amendments) 1993. It is a record that the item had a label as described or similar to that detailed in
the Guide to the regulations as published by the Department of Trade & Industry, January 1997, (or
subsequent edition), attached at the time the inventory was compiled.
It is the responsibility of the landlord/managing agent/tenant to agree between themselves the
accuracy of the report, and Duchy Inventories should be notified within 7 days of receipt of the
report of any discrepancies within the report.
CLEANING
We recommend that a professional cleaning company is employed at the end of the tenancy, unless
alternative arrangements have been agreed with the Landlord/Managing Agent. Receipts from
professional cleaning and carpet cleaning companies must be present to the clerk at the checkout
inspection.
If the standard of cleaning is not satisfactory most Landlords/Managing Agents will contract a cleaner
and their charges will be charged to the tenant unless otherwise stated in the tenancy agreement.

Tenant's initials:
DECORATION
It is accepted that during the course of the day to day living scuffs will appear on walls and woodwork.
However should the marks be found to be excessive charges will be made to you the tenant, unless
otherwise stated in the tenancy agreement.
LIGHTING
If the lights are working at checkin then it is normal, if lights are not working at checkout, for these to
be the responsibility of the tenant to replace bulbs or to be charged accordingly, unless otherwise
stated in the tenancy agreement.
GARDENS/PATIO
If the standard of the garden/patio is found to be untidy compared to the start of the tenancy the
Landlord/Managing Agent are entitled to employ a contract gardener and the charge will be made to
you the tenant, unless otherwise stated in the tenancy agreement.
MAINTENANCE ISSUES
We recommended should any maintenance issues arise you contact the Landlord/Managing Agent
immediately so they can deal with the matter. Should we recommend items require maintenance
once a property has been checked out, this is purely stating that an item will require fixing/attention,
we are not advising as to whose responsibility this and your tenancy agreement will need to be
checked.
CHANGES TO PROPERTY
We recommend that if you wish to make any changes to the dcor or remove any of the Landlords
belongings you contact the Landlord/Managing Agent for permission and have this confirmed in
writing to ensure there are no discrepancies at the end of the tenancy.
