Posted in a discussion thread for inventory clerks is an interesting comment that “maybe quick, cheap and maybe enough is what landlords and agents want and deserve from their inventory reports …….” ...
In our role as inventory providers we sign in and out keys on a regular basis but as part of our own processes we also ask that the agent or landlord signs our worksheet to say they have received the keys...
I can see the benefits of upgrading to business membership as it makes a lot of sense to include a link back to my inventory website and also to add my telephone number and email address so that members...
I am hugely disappointed for you as I cannot fathom why something so obviously wrong has been allowed to stand! I've shared the article on all social media accounts and with everyone I can think of including a few journalists I know........ Read More
From a very selfish point of view I wish landlords WOULD have the heating on at the minimum level; do you have any idea how cold it can be completing inventories in properties that you can see your breath in???! :)... Read More
I agree with both Gary and Kevin's responses. As an inventory provider your role is meant to be impartial and you should only record and report on the facts as seen at the point of the report and again at any subsequent visits if commissioned. Everything else is for the landlord, tenant and or cleaners to resolve…...... Read More
Am I reading the Hemming V Westminster Council case wrongly then as their's was about licensing of a group of sex shops in Soho not HMO's although clearly there are far reaching consequences of the ruling (no relation by the way; I think!).... Read More
Just used the calculator; a really good tool though I would prefer to have it in one doc rather than going onto the "next' page ( personal choice 🙂 ).
Could I ask what the the optimum yield to strive for is? It's probably a "piece of string" question but wondered if there was a line that can be drawn that will say whether the property is worth pursuing or is a "walk away".... Read More
I used the iPad / Apple App for TIM and just didnt find it user friendly and had to remember where I had been as it seemed to want to take me back to the start all the time.
I just find iSurvey more responsive and suits me better but certainly advocate trying out a few to get a best fit :)... Read More
I have tried TIM and Imfuma but have settled on iSurvey as the platform for the iPhone / iPad is very easy to use and imbeds all the photographic information with date and time stamps.
I like the way it indexes my reports and at £6.00 per report I find it much better value wise (that includes VAT by the way).
Happy to send you an example if that helps.
As with any system; once you get used to it reports them become much easier and less time consuming depending on the state of the property of course!
