5. The Importance Of A Good Inventory with Justine Tomlinson from No Letting Go

The inventory provides a vital record of the condition of the property when your tenant moves in. It also shows them that you care about the property and want them to take care of it.  Retaining any of the deposit is virtually impossible without a record of its condition from the start of the contract.  Justine will take us through best practice around inventories and how an inventory clerk can add value.
