Inventory
We introduce you to an independent inventory company. If you take the Silver or Gold service this is recommended but optional. With Platinum it is essential.

We use ARLA (Association of Residential Letting Agents) Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements.
Tenancy Deposit Scheme
We belong to this government sponsored scheme designed to arbitrate where there is a dispute regarding dilapidation costs at the end of a tenancy.
