Tired of Waiting for Reports or Chasing for Clarity?


If you’ve ever had to chase a late report or untangle an unclear inventory, you’ll know just how important a smooth, reliable process is - for you, your landlords, and your tenants.


That’s why understanding what to look for in an inventory clerk can make all the difference. Reports that are clear, detailed, and delivered on time can help avoid disputes, support deposit protection and make your job a whole lot easier.


What to Look for in an Inventory Clerk (and Why It Matters)


Here are some key things to consider when choosing an inventory partner:


✅ Speed and Reliability

Fast turnaround keeps everything moving. I deliver all reports within 24 hours so you’re not left waiting or chasing.


✅ Professional, Photo-Rich Reports

I use Inventory Base software to produce consistent, easy-to-read reports. They’re clear for tenants and professional enough to share directly with landlords.


✅ Attention to Detail

From documenting small scuffs to noting meter readings and appliance models, every detail is covered carefully because small things can make a big difference during a dispute.


✅ Respect for the Property

I take care of every property I visit. I never stand on worktops or radiators, and I use ladders when needed to test alarms safely and properly.


✅ Flexibility and a Local, Personal Touch

As an independent clerk based in Stroud and covering Gloucestershire and beyond, I’m easy to reach, happy to adapt to your processes, and can often help when you need short-notice support.


Lifetime Inventory Option for Landlords


Some landlords prefer to invest in a lifetime inventory: a one-off, thorough inventory that’s then updated at a lower cost each time a new tenancy begins. This helps reduce admin, creates long-term savings, and ensures the property is protected with consistent documentation throughout its rental life.
