Complete photographic inventory with detailed written notes. Every room documented thoroughly, giving you solid evidence for deposit protection and peace of mind.
### The Evidence You'll Actually Need
First day of the tenancy, everything's documented in writing. **Last day of the tenancy, it's your word against theirs.** Unless you've got photos.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Deposit protection schemes now expect photographic evidence. A written inventory without photos often isn't enough to defend deductions.

Good to Know
> 🎯 **Legal tip:** The inventory becomes part of the tenancy agreement. Get the tenant to sign that they've received and reviewed it. Without that signature, it's harder to enforce. **Furnished properties?** These take longer - I need to document every piece of furniture's condition. Budget for 3-4 hours on a furnished 2-bed. **Garden included?** Yes, that gets photographed too - fences, sheds, paving, plants if they're a feature. Outdoor condition matters. **Student properties in Exeter?** I do a lot of these around the university areas. Photographic evidence is essential when you've got multiple tenants sharing responsibility.
Frequently Asked Questions about Inventory photography in Tiverton
What's included in inventory photography?
Every room photographed comprehensively - walls, floors, ceilings, fixtures, fittings, appliances, furniture if it's staying. Plus written notes on condition. You get a full report with all photos timestamped and organized by room.
Why do I need photos as well as written notes?
Photos are evidence. When there's a dispute about whether that mark was there at check-in, a photo settles it immediately. Deposit protection schemes expect photographic evidence now - written notes alone often aren't enough.
How many photos do you take?
Depends on property size, but typically 80-150 photos for a 2-bed house. Every room from multiple angles, close-ups of existing damage or wear, all appliances, meter readings, everything. It's thorough.
Can this be done before new tenants move in?
That's exactly when it should be done - after the previous tenant's out, property's cleaned and ready, but before the new tenant gets the keys. Perfect timing for an accurate baseline.
Do you provide the photos in a usable format?
Yes - you get a PDF report with all photos organized by room, plus the original image files. Everything's timestamped and dated. Easy to share with tenants or refer back to later.
