Check-Out Reports
A fresh, independent inspection at the end of the tenancy — compared item-by-item against the original check-in, so any deductions are backed by evidence, not opinion.
What's included
- Room-by-room re-inspection using the same checklist as the check-in
- Direct, side-by-side comparison against the original check-in report
- Clear separation of fair wear and tear versus damage or missing items
- Cleanliness assessed against the standard set at check-in
- Closing meter readings
- Key and fob return confirmed
- Photographic evidence of any discrepancies, dated at the point of capture
- A summary page flagging anything that may affect the deposit
Book around the move-out date
Ideally once the property is empty, before keys are handed back.
On-site inspection
The same room-by-room method used at check-in, so nothing is compared apples-to-oranges.
Comparison report within 24 hours
Often the same day — check-in and check-out shown side by side, with any changes clearly flagged.
Ready for deposit resolution
A report built to the standard TDS, mydeposits and the DPS expect if a deduction is disputed.
This is the report that actually gets tested
If a tenant disputes a deduction, the check-out report — measured against the check-in — is the evidence an adjudicator reads first. A vague or missing check-out is often the difference between recovering a deduction and losing it.

Check-out questions
What if there's no check-in report to compare against?
We can still produce a standalone condition report, but without a check-in to compare it to, it carries less weight in a dispute — it's always worth having both.
Do you calculate the cost of damage?
We document and photograph what's changed and categorise it as wear and tear or damage; the landlord or agent arranges any repair quotes to support a deduction claim.
How quickly can you book a check-out?
Usually within the same week — earlier notice around known move-out dates helps guarantee the exact day you need.
