DIY InventoryInventory and check-in reports in North East Derbyshire
North East Derbyshire wraps around Chesterfield, from Dronfield and Eckington near Sheffield to Clay Cross and the former mining villages in the south and east. Most households own their homes and only about one in ten rent privately, mostly in colliery-era terraces and post-war houses. The west of the district rises towards the Peak District, with stone cottages and farms.

What to check at a North East Derbyshire check-in
- Colliery-era terraces in Clay Cross, Holmewood and Eckington: note cracks in walls and around doors and windows that may come from old mine workings.
- Gritstone cottages in Ashover and the western villages: photograph damp patches, condensation, wood burners and flues.
- Rural homes off mains gas: photograph the oil tank, its gauge level and the boiler service label.
- Older terraces with rear yards: record outbuildings, gutters, and any damp in back kitchens and bathrooms.
- New-build homes in Clay Cross and Wingerworth: record snagging marks, sealant and any cracks so they are noted before the tenancy.

Do landlords need a licence in North East Derbyshire?
Selective licensing: No selective licensing scheme. Additional HMO licensing: No additional HMO licensing scheme: only the national mandatory licence for HMOs with five or more occupiers living as two or more households. Check the council’s own page before letting, as schemes change.
Can I do my own check-in inventory in North East Derbyshire?
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.
