What is a mid-term inpection?
Also known as a mid-term inventory or property visit, this service involves a visit to the property during the tenancy to assess its condition and occupancy. It's not a full inventory - but it provides a helpful record that can flag up concerns early and offer reassurance that all is in order.
What's Included in The Midway:
Our Midway Inspection includes:
-
A visual check of all rooms and outdoor spaces.
-
Notes on general cleanliness, maintenance and condition.
-
Confirmation of who is occupying the property.
-
Identification of any damage, neglect or unauthorised alterations.
-
Photographic evidence to support our observations.
-
Notes on tenant-reported maintenance issues or concerns.

A professional PDF report, delivered within 24 hours.
Who It's For
This service is ideal for:
-
Landlords and agents who want to ensure the property is being looked after properly.
-
HMOs and student lets, where multiple occupancy makes mid-term checks essential.
-
Longer tenancies, where a single check-in and check-out isn't enough to keep track.
Why It Matters
Midway inspections help spot small issues before they become costly problems. They provide:
-
Early warning signs of damage or misuse.
-
Reassurance that the tenant is complying with the tenancy agreement.
-
An opportunity to build rapport and open communication.
-
A time-stamped record that supports fair and transparent property management.
When to Book
Most landlords choose to schedule a Midway Inspection every 3-6 months - but we can advise what's best based on your property and tenancy type. Inspections are arranged with at least 48 hours' notice to tenants and we'll work flexibly to suit all parties.
