DIY inventory and check-in reports in Aberdeen

Check-in and check-out reports and inspections during the tenancy, for landlords, property managers and tenants in Aberdeen, done on your phone. Dated photos, every item’s condition, signed by both sides, and the PDF ready the moment it’s signed. £30 per report.

Why do it yourself in Aberdeen?

  • No appointment to wait for: do it whenever you have the keys, before the tenant moves in or with them there.
  • £30 a report instead of a clerk’s fee for every check-in, inspection and check-out.
  • The report is ready instantly, so it can be sent and signed on move-in day.
  • Prefer paper? Use our free inventory template (PDF and Word).
  • The check-out starts from the check-in and shows what has changed, with photos side by side.

Renting in Scotland: the basics

  • Most lets are a private residential tenancy.
  • A deposit must be paid into an approved scheme (SafeDeposits Scotland, Letting Protection Service Scotland or mydeposits Scotland) within 30 working days of the tenancy starting.
  • The repairing standard includes an electrical installation check (EICR) at least every 5 years, an annual Gas Safety check, working smoke and heat alarms, and a valid EPC.

Questions

Inventorys in Aberdeen: questions and answers

How much does an inventory report cost in Aberdeen?

With DIY Inventory it’s £30 per report, whatever the size of the property: a check-in, a check-out or an inspection during the tenancy. It’s free to start, and you pay when the finished report is downloaded.

How much does an inventory clerk cost in Aberdeen?

Inventory clerks in Aberdeen usually charge for each visit, more for bigger or furnished homes, so a check-in and a check-out together can cost a few hundred pounds. With DIY Inventory each report is £30, whatever the size, and you can do it as soon as you have the keys.

Do I need an inventory clerk in Aberdeen?

No. You can do the inventory yourself on your phone, or send your tenant a link to do it. The app gives every room a photo checklist, stamps the date and time on every photo, and both sides sign the report.

Will the report help with a deposit dispute in Scotland?

The scheme’s free adjudication service decides disputed deductions on the evidence, so an inventory with dated photos at the start of the tenancy carries real weight. Your report gives you that evidence: dated photos of every room, the condition of every item, meter readings and keys, signed by both sides.

Can I book a Gas Safety certificate, EICR or EPC in Aberdeen?

You can request one on our landlord services page at a fixed price. We’ll check we cover the area and confirm a date with you.
