DIY InventoryInventory and check-in reports in Wyre
Wyre stretches from the coastal towns of Fleetwood, Cleveleys and Thornton to the rural Over Wyre villages and Garstang. Fleetwood has many older terraces let privately and a growing number of shared houses, which led the council to bring in planning controls on new HMOs there and in Thornton-Cleveleys. Bungalows and interwar semis are common along the coast, where many residents are retired. Poulton and Garstang are market towns with modern estates around period centres.

Inventories in Wyre: questions
How much does an inventory clerk cost in Wyre?
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 Wyre?
£713 a month (ONS, February 2026), up 5.7% 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 Wyre postcode.
Do landlords need a licence in Wyre?
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 two or more households). An Article 4 Direction now means new HMOs in parts of Fleetwood and Thornton-Cleveleys need planning permission. Check the council’s own page before letting, as schemes change.
Can I do my own check-in inventory in Wyre?
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.
