DIY InventoryInventory and check-in reports in Runnymede
Runnymede is a Surrey commuter borough along the Thames, with high house prices and some of Surrey's highest private renting, helped by Royal Holloway, University of London in Egham. Egham and Englefield Green have many student shared houses, while Addlestone and Chertsey mix Victorian terraces, post-war estates and new apartment blocks. Virginia Water is known for very large detached houses, and low-lying parts of Egham Hythe, Thorpe and Chertsey near the Thames are prone to flooding.

Inventories in Runnymede: questions
How much does an inventory clerk cost in Runnymede?
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 Runnymede?
£1,587 a month (ONS, October 2025), up 0.9% 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 Runnymede postcode.
Do landlords need a licence in Runnymede?
Selective licensing: No selective licensing scheme found. Additional HMO licensing: No additional HMO licensing scheme found; national mandatory HMO licensing (five or more people from two or more households) applies. Councillors have discussed extending licensing to all HMOs, but no scheme has been confirmed. Check the council’s own page before letting, as schemes change.
Can I do my own check-in inventory in Runnymede?
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.
