DIY InventoryInventory and check-in reports in Arun
Arun is a stretch of the West Sussex coast between Worthing and Chichester, centred on Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, with Arundel and farmland inland. Much of the housing is bungalows and family houses, and the area has a large retired population. Private rented homes are concentrated in the older terraces and converted flats of Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, and large new estates have been built around Angmering, Barnham and Yapton.

What to check at a Arun check-in
- Seafront homes in Bognor Regis, Felpham and Littlehampton: photograph window frames, external door furniture and any rust on railings and balconies from salt air.
- Flats converted from Victorian and Edwardian houses in Bognor Regis: note shared entrance keys, meter locations and the state of communal hallways.
- Bungalows: photograph loft hatches, any rooms in the roof, garages and garden sheds, and count the keys for each.
- Low-lying homes near the River Arun and the coast: photograph the base of walls, airbricks and skirting boards for damp.
- New-build homes in Angmering and Barnham: photograph any snagging marks, sealant around baths and showers, and the condition of turfed gardens.

Inventories in Arun: questions
How much does an inventory clerk cost in Arun?
Clerks usually charge per visit, more for bigger or furnished homes, so a check-in and a check-out together often come to 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.
What is the average rent in Arun?
£1,231 a month (ONS, August 2026), up 3.1% on a year earlier. Rents vary a lot by street and type of home; the free property report shows sold prices, the EPC and more for any Arun postcode.
Do landlords need a licence in Arun?
Selective licensing: No selective licensing scheme. Additional HMO licensing: Additional HMO licensing in three wards (Hotham, Marine and River, covering central Bognor Regis and Littlehampton) from 1 February 2025, for five years (to 31 January 2030). Check the council’s own page before letting, as schemes change.
Can I do my own check-in inventory in Arun?
Yes. Landlords, agents and tenants can do it on a phone: a photo checklist for every room, the date and time stamped on every photo, every item’s condition, and both sides sign. The PDF is ready the moment it’s signed.
Will a DIY inventory stand up in a deposit dispute?
Deposit schemes (DPS, TDS, mydeposits) decide on the evidence, above all the condition at check-in compared with check-out. Dated photos of every room, signed by both sides, are exactly that evidence.
