Fees: £1,000 for a selective licence (£600 on application and £400 on approval), or £725 for accredited landlords Check the council’s own page before letting, as schemes change.

Can I do my own check-in inventory in North East Lincolnshire?

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.
