End-of-Tenancy Check-Out Reports That Protect Landlords and Tenants Alike in Sheffield
A detailed, unbiased Check-out Report is just as important as the Inventory Report that begins a tenancy. It’s the key document that helps determine whether a tenant should be held responsible for damage, cleanliness issues, or missing items.
At Nicholas Blakeley Property Services, we carry out end-of-tenancy inspections once the tenant has vacated, removed their belongings, and surrendered the keys—ensuring no further access is required.
Using the original Inventory & Condition Report as our baseline, we assess each room and item, compare it entry-by-entry, and evaluate changes fairly, allowing for reasonable wear and tear.
What Do Our Reports Include?
Each entry receives one of three clear summary comments:
| Comment | Meaning |
|---|---|
| No additional comments | No notable change or issue since the tenancy began |
| Damages match original or fair wear and tear | Minor damage or deterioration that’s acceptable |
| Damages as noted below | Clear issues beyond wear and tear — supported by detailed observations and photographic evidence |
When damage is noted, we include:
- Close-up, date-stamped photographic evidence
- In-depth description of the issue and comparison to the original condition
- Cost breakdown for repair, replacement, or cleaning using our Common Costs Guidance system
- Sub-total per room and overall total for the property
