DIY InventoryInventory and check-in reports in Broadland
Broadland wraps around the north of Norwich, so much of its housing is suburban: post-war and modern estates in Sprowston, Hellesdon, Thorpe St Andrew and Taverham. Large new developments are being built in the growth area north-east of Norwich. The rural north has market towns such as Aylsham and Reepham and many villages, some within the Broads. Bungalows are common and the district is mostly owner-occupied.

Can I do my own check-in inventory in Broadland?
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.
