Inventories in Teignbridge: questions
How much does an inventory clerk cost in Teignbridge?
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 Teignbridge?
£961 a month (ONS, August 2026), up 3.6% 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 Teignbridge postcode.
Do landlords need a licence in Teignbridge?
Selective licensing: No selective licensing scheme. Additional HMO licensing: No additional HMO licensing scheme: the council operates only the mandatory scheme, for HMOs with five or more people forming two or more households who share facilities. Check the council’s own page before letting, as schemes change.
Can I do my own check-in inventory in Teignbridge?
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.
