Pearl Inventories have vast experience in the property industry with our clerks having worked with Local Authorities for many years.
We are familiar with Local Authorities need to move into the Private Lettings Market as the demand for rental properties continues to exceed the supply. While Local Authorities are encouraging clients to rent privately they also need to ensure they procure a good standard of property and that the lettings process remains as professional and efficient as it would within the Private Sector.
Local Authority departments that lease private Landlord’s properties often offer incentive payments, deposit bonds, deposit payments and other enticements to procure properties.
Using Independent Inventory Clerks can not only provide peace of mind for Landlords but can also ensure the Local Authority has documented evidence of the property at the beginning of the tenancy and the end to avoid disputes directly with landlords.
We are here to help
Let us help the Local Authorities save their resources and concentrate on continuing to procure properties rather than spending time visiting properties, for the purpose of recoring initial / final condition of the property and inspecting throughout tenancies.
We carry out Mid Term Inspections which can be useful if tenants who have rented privately complain of disrepair issues or if the Local Authority has leased a property and wishes to update landlords with inspections (this can be attractive to landlords as it is service that Estate and Managing Agents provide).
All boroughs work differently and we are happy to provide bespoke services as required. Additional services such as risk assessments can be provided and we are happy to enter into a service agreement and ensure we meet your service level requirements and provide an efficient and professional service to all users.
