The
“Principle" refers to the person who has instructed InventoryCity to make an Inventory or to conduct an inventory
Check-in or Check-out. "The assessor" refers to the person making the inventory,
checking in the inventory or checking out the inventory.
"The property" means the property and its contents,
which are catalogued in the Inventory.
"The Inventory" refers to the items at the property compiled in
accordance with the following conditions:
Upon acceptance of the instruction, the assessor will arrange
the inspection of the Premises in order to to compile the Inventory.
The Inventory will be a thorough and detailed
catalogue of the furniture, fixtures, fittings and household effects, including any outdoor space, which is a record of the
property and its contents at the time the inventory is prepared. The Inventory is compiled for identification purposes and
does not constitute a valuation or statement of authenticity.
Where no comments are noted on the Inventory regarding
condition, that item is considered to be in good condition.
Electrical appliances will generally be power tested,
at the assessors discretion, where it is practical or safe to do so. Lighting is tested to indicate whether the bulbs
are working at the time of the check-in. Central heating systems and boilers cannot be tested.
Landlords and Tenants
alike should be aware that the Fire and Safety Regulation regarding furnishing, gas, electrical and similar services are the
responsibility of the Principal. Where the Inventory records "FFR label seen" this should not be interpreted to
mean that the item complies with the "Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 as amended 1993",
it is only a statement that a label has been seen. Principles and agents must ensure that all items comply with the relevant
safely regulation before the Tenancy commences.
The Inventory preparation, check-in or check-out will be carried
out by the assessor assuming the assessor is able to do so without moving large or heavy items of furniture. Property
left in lofts, and locked rooms, which have not been seen and recorded, are the responsibility of the Landlord and cannot
be added to the Inventory without prior arrangement. Items left in cellars will be visually identified where possible, if
it is safe to do so; however the assessor will not undertake to search through boxes, cupboards or inaccessible areas.
Any items of value or the Landlords personal belongings, should be removed before the Inventory is prepared.
Items such as books will only be listed as "a quantity of" All items of value should be removed
before the inventory is prepared.
Linen is listed
as seen, however soiled items will not be fully inspected. All linen should be freshly laundered and left folded on top of
the bed, to allow for easy identification.
Meter readings will be taken when accessible at the time of the Check
In or Check Out, providing the assessorhas been informed as to whereabouts of the meters beforehand.
Smoke alarms and security
alarms cannot be tested by InventoryCity and are the responsibility of the Tenant or the Principle.
We reserve the right to add additional costs if rooms are excessively overstocked with furniture, crockery, utensils
etc. In such cases, the assessor will obtain clearance from the Principle prior to preparing the Inventory.
Inventory and Check-in Service
This requires 48 hours notice in-between visits to allow for
the Inventory to be prepared for the check-in.

a pre arranged time.
The assessor and the Tenant will check each item listed on the Inventory and agree to the
