A practical UK inventory checklist

A room-by-room process for recording condition clearly before a tenancy and re-walking it at check-out.

Before check-in

Use one item name per thing you can identify later. Record the date, room, condition, location and any existing mark. Take photos that show context as well as close detail.

At check-out

Use the same room and item order. Mark an item Missing when it is not present rather than silently deleting it. Record what you can observe today, without guessing who caused a mark.

For a fair report

Separate deterioration, missing items and improvement. A change can be worth reviewing without being a proven deduction: ordinary wear and tear and the final decision remain matters for the parties or an adjudicator.
