A picture is worth a thousand words, a video inventory must be worth a million...
Since the introduction of the Tenancy Deposit Legislation in 2007, it has become increasingly important for landlords to have independent professional inventories prepared if they wish to protect themselves from damage caused by tenants.
95% of cases regarding disputes over damage caused to a residential property are currently being found in favour of the tenants due to the lack of insufficient evidence to support the landlord’s case.
In our opinion video offers the best supporting evidence that it is possible to provide as it clearly shows all items in great details and in relation to other items in the room giving a much more detailed impression of the condition of the contents of a property. It also shows that electrical items such as lights are in working order or have bulbs missing.
As the only national inventory company offering video evidence in support of the written inventory, our independent services provide irrefutable evidence as to the condition of a property and its contents, removing virtually all scope for dispute and preventing landlords becoming embroiled in costly time consuming arguments.
Why use our service ?
• all our agents are fully trained and accredited
• inventories are produced centrally with strict quality control
• video provides much stronger evidence than written or photographic inventories
• it prevents time consuming costly tenant disputes
• it is economical and cost effective
• it provides better compliance with the TDS
We have conducted over 1500 inventories (up to 1st October 2009). Not one disputed case we have been involved has taken more than a few days to sort out as quite simply when the tenant has been supplied with the video evidence they quickly realise there is no point in arguing.
As one of our clients wrote:
“Using The Video Inventory Agency for our inventories is helping to minimise issues with tenants at checkout time. Their service is fast and efficient, and has been a great cost effective solution.”
- Harry Dhaliwal, Belvoir Lettings,
We supply original inventories, interim inspections and check out inspections as well as a checking in service with the tenant if required at a highly competitive price. Booking directly with us rather than using your letting agent may well also save you money.
