DIY InventoryInventory and check-in reports in North Warwickshire
North Warwickshire is a largely rural borough of market towns and former mining villages, with Atherstone, Coleshill and Polesworth the largest settlements. Much of the housing is semis, bungalows and post-war council-built estates, with brick terraces in the old colliery villages and period cottages in the countryside. Private renting is a modest share of homes, and new-build estates have grown near the M42 at Dordon and Polesworth.

Inventories in North Warwickshire: questions
How much does an inventory clerk cost in North Warwickshire?
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 North Warwickshire?
£974 a month (ONS, June 2026), up 6.5% 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 North Warwickshire postcode.
Do landlords need a licence in North Warwickshire?
Selective licensing: No selective licensing scheme. Additional HMO licensing: No additional HMO licensing: only national mandatory HMO licensing for larger HMOs applies. The council consulted from 6 November to 18 December 2025 on an Article 4 direction so that small HMOs would need planning permission. Check the council’s own page before letting, as schemes change.
Can I do my own check-in inventory in North Warwickshire?
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.
