Interim Inspection To Check For Damages, Tenant Misconduct and Document Maintenance Issues
What Is A Mid-Term Inspection
An interim property report is conducted partway through the tenancy, which helps the landlord understand the current condition of the property. It should seek to highlight any maintenance issues and or forecast any potential issues such as unauthorised occupation, pets and smoking as well as any known anti-social behaviour.
Interim Reports, also known as Routine Inspections, are important and recommended after a new tenant has been installed into a property. At Trust Inventory we can do regular checks, monthly, every 3 months, 6 months or yearly.
Our inventory clerks will use shoe covers at visits, take general photographs and brief notes during the inspections.
Also known as Interim inspection, this is vital to make sure tenants are settling in well and there are no breaches to the tenancy agreement, to protect the landlord’s asset. Professional mid-term and interim property inspections for landlords and letting agents. Independent reports with photos.

Ensure the property is being cared for correctly
The property should be generally clean and tidy for a routine inspection. The tenant should inform the property manager/owner of any maintenance issues as soon as they occur. Most property managers usually request any non-urgent maintenance requests in writing.
Our inventory clerks will take general photos inside the property and additional, detailed images to highlight an issue that needs to be addressed. The purpose of the mid-term visit is to make sure everything is in accordance with the tenancy agreement, that there is no evidence of Sub-Letting, unauthorised pets or any misconduct.
Routine inspections are carried out to ensure the property is being well cared for and that there are no maintenance or health and safety issues.
Who Needs A Mid-Term Inspection?
The Interim Inspections for rental property are beneficial for both Landlord and Tenant, to make sure everything is going smoothly, that the Tenant has settled in and all the conditions are as expected. On the other hand, it is beneficial for the Landlord to avoid situations where things could go wrong.
Protect Your Investment
Mid-term inspections are also the perfect opportunity to spot any problems with the property and to ensure tenants are keeping their end of the tenancy agreement and there is no sub-letting, walls are not repainted in different colours, carpets replaced, curtains removed or additionally mounted, not running a business or any other criminal activity.

F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a Mid-Term Property Inspection?
Most tenants look well after their home, however, it is the landlord’s responsibility to maintain the property in good conditions, in this respect a good communication with the tenant is vital so you will be aware of any maintenance issues that might need to be looked at.
How often should I book a Routine inspection?
We recommend a Mit-term inspection every 3 months, but it all depends on the relationship you have with the tenants. If you know them well and trust them, perhaps once every year would be enough, but every 6 months would be a safe period for any circumstances.
Does my tenant have to be present for this visit?
It is not necessary for the tenant to be present, but in accordance to your tenancy agreement, you will have to ask permission and give them notice. If they can’t be present, we can use your management keys for the inspections and return them afterwards.
Do tenants need to be notified?
Yes. Tenants must be given appropriate notice before an inspection, in line with tenancy agreements and UK legislation. We provide mid-term inspections across the South West. Please contact us to confirm availability.
Does a mid-term inspection replace a check-out report?
No. A mid-term inspection is supplementary and helps prevent issues before check-out, but it does not replace a formal check-out inventory.
Are photos included in the report?
Yes. All reports include dated photographic evidence to support findings. Contact Trust Inventory for professional, independent interim property inspections you can rely on.
