DIY InventoryInventory and check-in reports in Wychavon
Wychavon is a rural district of market towns and villages around Worcester, mostly owner-occupied with private renting well below the national level. Droitwich Spa, Evesham and Pershore have period centres and large modern estates, while villages have timber-framed and Cotswold stone cottages, many listed. The Vale of Evesham's farms and packhouses mean some homes are let to seasonal and agricultural workers. Riverside towns on the Avon and Severn, such as Evesham, Pershore and Upton, are prone to flooding.

What to check at a Wychavon check-in
- Riverside homes in Evesham, Pershore and Upton-upon-Severn: photograph flood defences, airbricks and watermarks, as these towns flood often.
- Timber-framed and black-and-white cottages: photograph beams, infill panels, low doorways and any damp or rot.
- Cotswold stone homes in Broadway: check damp at the base of walls, stone slates and timber windows, and record listed features.
- Shared homes for farm and packhouse workers in the Vale: record each room's furniture and locks, and check a licence is in place for five or more sharers.
- Rural homes off the gas network: note the oil tank level, wood burners and any septic tank.
- New-build estates near Worcester and Droitwich: check sealant, flooring and snagging marks, and who maintains shared land.

Inventories in Wychavon: questions
How much does an inventory clerk cost in Wychavon?
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 Wychavon?
£954 a month (ONS, August 2026), up 3.9% 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 Wychavon postcode.
Do landlords need a licence in Wychavon?
Selective licensing: No selective licensing scheme. Additional HMO licensing: No additional HMO licensing scheme; only national mandatory HMO licensing applies (five or more people from different households sharing facilities). Fees: £820 for a new HMO licence and £642 to renew (council fees 2026/27) Check the council’s own page before letting, as schemes change.
Can I do my own check-in inventory in Wychavon?
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.
