The moment a tenant moves in or out is the moment your deposit argument is won or lost. We are there with a camera and an inventory.

## What we check

- **Move-in and move-out inventory with photos** — A photographed, room-by-room inventory at both ends of the tenancy, so "it was already like that" becomes a checkable claim.
- **Meter readings recorded and signed by both sides** — Electricity, water and gas readings recorded, photographed and signed by both parties on the day the keys move.
- **Key handover, key holding and spare-set management** — Keys counted, handed over against signature, and spares held securely by us rather than floating around a WhatsApp group.
- **Damage assessment against the check-in record** — Damage assessed against the check-in photographs, not against anyone's recollection twelve months later.
- **Repair quotes gathered before the deposit is returned** — Repair quotes gathered before any deposit is returned, so the deduction is a number with a receipt behind it.
- **Cleaning arranged and checked between tenancies** — Cleaners booked between tenancies, and the flat checked after them so the next tenant walks into something you would accept.
