Midterm inspections can be used as a vital piece of information in the event of a tenancy deposit dispute.

The property will be visited by one of our experienced clerks who will inspect the property, take photos, and use written text to give an overview of its general condition and cleanliness. Any evidence of smoking, unauthorised occupancy, pets and general misuse of the property and terms of the tenancy will be documented too.

The clerk will also inspect for maintenance and compliance issues (either present or preventative), such as signs of water ingress, damp, condensation and mould. Compliance issues may also be recorded, such as blind cords, smoke and CO2 alarms being compliant, overloaded electrical plugs etc.

We offer significant discounts for monthly bulk bookings.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

Sometimes known as periodic inspections or mid-term inspections, these are commonly conducted every 3 – 6 months (or at other times if there have been complaints, maintenance work or similar).  

We inspect the property for general maintenance, housekeeping, and cleanliness, evidence of smoking, pets, subletting or any other misuse of the tenancy. You can also let us know if there is anything in particular that you would like inspecting. 

This service is particularly useful for getting on top of untidy or disrespectful tenants and stamping out problems before they get out of hand.
