Inventory Fee - £90 to £240 (inc VAT) (Varies depending on the Property)
It is important to have a thorough inventory enabling both parties (landlord and tenant) to be treated fairly. The inventory documentation serves a number of vital functions – including providing a catalogue of the let property, an unbiased record of its condition and any items included in the tenancy. It forms part of the legally binding contract that is set out in the tenancy agreement between the tenant and the landlord. Allen Davies employs independent specialists to prepare inventories and the cost of the inventory is dependent upon the provider who is available in the locality of the property at the time required. The cost of the inventory also varies dependent on the number of bedrooms in the property and whether or not the property is furnished or unfurnished.

If both parties agree that the tenant can stay for another term, this cost covers the contract negotiation, amending and updating the terms and arranging a further tenancy and agreement.
