Item details
Rental inspections are quick and crowded. This list keeps you checking what matters once you've moved in: water pressure and hot water, mould, locks, heating and cooling, storage, reception and noise.
It ends with the questions to ask the agent before you apply, so the answers are in writing on the same page.
What's included
- 1 A4 page: test, look, live, ask
- A space for the agent's answers
- Three colourways
How to use it
- Print one copy per property.
- Test taps and switches yourself; agents don't mind.
- Apply the same day if it ticks your boxes; good rentals go fast.
