1. Washing machineFront of the appliance, then the inside with the door open.
2. Sink & tapsLook down into the bowl, then close up on the taps and the sealant around it.
3. WorktopsShoot along the surface at a low angle so scratches, chips and burns show.
4. CupboardsOne shot closed, one with doors open showing shelves and hinges.
5. FlooringCrouch low and shoot along the floor so scuffs, stains and edges catch the light.
6. Walls & ceilingTake each wall square-on from a few feet back so marks and paint finish show.
7. Boiler (if present)Whole unit, then a close-up of the valves and any rust or leaks.
8. Extractor / ventilationUnderside of the unit showing the filter and any grease build-up.

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.
