Inventories
Clear, uncomplicated yet detailed Inventories allow us to better manage your property. Due to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme legislation, which has been passed in the Scottish Parliament, all letting agencies in Scotland, have to by law, rigorously justify any end-of-tenancy costs that would be deducted from a deposit. That makes it essential to have an inventory carried out at the start of a tenancy to measure any subsequent deterioration beyond fair wear-and-tear.
Our inventories are compiled with Inventory Software that states the condition and cleanliness of all aspects of the property, from light fittings to floor covering, from cutlery to coffee tables. A detailed description, make and model where available. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words! An inventory is not just a detailed description, the photos of each item accompanies the detailed descriptions and can be the difference between a successful claim or not!
We endeavour to get things right at the outset of the tenancy to prevent costly time disputes at the end of the tenancy! In the meantime speak to your Pure Property Manager for advice and to explore options available to you at present.

Preparing Your Property
Property Compliance Certificates
All landlords in Scotland must be registered with their local council and have a Landlord Registration Number. All properties must have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) before it can be advertised. If your property has gas, then a Gas Safety Certificate must be obtained annually. Additionally, you will also be required to have electrical safety certificates in the form of an EICR (Electrical Instillation Condition Report) and a PAT Certificate (Portable Appliance Test).
To renew your Landlord Registration Number, you are now also required to have a Legionella Risk Assessment carried out at the property.
