Inventories in Gedling: questions
How much does an inventory clerk cost in Gedling?
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.
Do landlords need a licence in Gedling?
Selective licensing: Selective licensing covers privately rented homes in two schemes: the whole of Netherfield ward (renewed from 5 January 2025 to 4 January 2030), and parts of Carlton Hill, Colwick, Daybrook and Newstead Village (phase 2, 1 November 2022 to the end of October 2027). Additional HMO licensing: No additional HMO licensing scheme is confirmed on the council’s pages: larger HMOs (five or more people from two or more households) need a national mandatory HMO licence. Fees: Between about £585 and £700 per property for a selective licence when phase 2 was set up (2022); check the council’s page for current fees Check the council’s own page before letting, as schemes change.
Can I do my own check-in inventory in Gedling?
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.
