For each item, record

  • Its condition: new, good, fair or poor.
  • A short description: colour, material, type.
  • Any marks or damage, and how clean it is.
  • Whether it works, for doors, windows, appliances and fittings.

Take at least 8 photos in every room, and at least one of each item. A wide shot first, then close-ups of anything worn or damaged.
