FAQs — I'm glad you asked..
What is an inventory clerk?
An inventory clerk is an independent professional who carries out detailed inspections of rental properties on behalf of landlords and letting agents.
At the start of a tenancy, they produce a comprehensive inventory and schedule of condition — a written and photographic record of the property’s contents and state. At the end of the tenancy, they carry out a check-out inspection, comparing the property’s condition against that original report.
This documentation is the key evidence used to resolve any deposit disputes between landlords and tenants, and is recognised by all major tenancy deposit schemes including TDS, DPS, and MyDeposits.
Using an independent clerk — rather than relying on the landlord or agent to carry out inspections themselves — ensures the report is impartial, which carries significantly more weight if a dispute goes to adjudication.
How does booking work?
Booking through Inventory Clerk Direct is straightforward. Use the search bar to find accredited clerks in your area, then contact your chosen clerk directly to discuss your requirements and agree a date.
There’s no platform fee, no booking commission, and no middleman. You pay your clerk directly at their own rate — 100% of your money goes to the professional carrying out the work.
Once booked, your clerk will carry out the inspection and deliver your completed report directly to your inbox, typically within 48 hours.
Are your clerks accredited?
Yes
Every clerk listed on Inventory Clerk Direct is independently accredited and fully insured by one or more of the UK’s leading professional bodies.
Which accreditation bodies are the clerks associated with?
The AIIC
The AIIC is the UK’s leading professional body for inventory clerks. Membership requires clerks to demonstrate competency, follow a strict code of practice, and commit to ongoing professional development. AIIC-accredited reports are widely recognised across the private rented sector.
TDS — Tenancy Deposit Scheme
The Tenancy Deposit Scheme is one of the UK’s government-approved deposit protection schemes. TDS-recognised clerks meet the standards required to produce reports that are accepted as evidence in deposit disputes and formal adjudication.
Propertymark
Propertymark is the UK’s leading membership body for property professionals. Propertymark-certified clerks are held to a high standard of conduct and professionalism, giving landlords and agents confidence that their inspection is in safe hands.
How much does it cost?
Clerks on Inventory Clerk Direct set their own rates based on property size, location, and the type of inspection required. This means pricing is transparent and competitive — you’re paying a local professional at their own rate, with no platform fees or commissions added on top.
As a general guide, inventory inspections for a typical rental property start from around £60–£80 for a one or two bedroom property, rising with size and furnishing level. Check-out inspections are typically priced slightly lower than check-ins.
To get an accurate price, simply find a clerk in your area and get in touch with them directly — most will provide a quick quote based on your property details, and most will publish their rates on their profile.
