Pre Tenancy Inventory
A pre-tenancy inventory is a document that lists the condition and contents of a rental property at the beginning of a tenancy. It is an important document that helps landlords and tenants avoid disputes over damages or missing items at the end of the tenancy. The inventory should be thorough and accurate, including detailed descriptions of the property's fixtures, fittings, and furnishings, as well as any existing damage or wear and tear.
Retrofit EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a document that assesses the energy efficiency of a property. It is a legal requirement for all rental properties to have an EPC, and it is often necessary to obtain one before a tenancy begins.
To process a pre-tenancy inventory quickly through Retrofit EPC, there are a few steps you can take:
-
Use digital tools: Using digital tools to create and process the inventory can help speed up the process. There are several inventory apps available that allow you to create detailed inventory reports quickly and easily.
-
Schedule the EPC assessment: Schedule the EPC assessment at the same time as the inventory inspection. This way, the assessor can inspect the property and make notes about the energy efficiency of the property at the same time as the inventory inspection.
-
Share the inventory report with the assessor: Provide the inventory report to the EPC assessor so they can use it to identify the fixtures, fittings, and furnishings of the property. This can help them make a more accurate assessment of the property's energy efficiency.
-
Review and sign the inventory report: Once the inventory report is complete, review it carefully with the tenant and landlord present. Any discrepancies should be noted and agreed upon, and both parties should sign the report to acknowledge its accuracy.
By following these steps, you can create a thorough and accurate pre-tenancy inventory and obtain a Retrofit EPC quickly and efficiently. This can help to ensure a smooth and hassle-free tenancy for both landlords and tenants
