PROPERTY SUMMARY
Only items of furniture that are within the physical limitations of the attending clerk have been inspected under and/or behind,
and that walls behind furniture items are not inspected, nor areas of carpet / flooring beneath.
It is a tenant’s responsibility to report any maintenance issues that could have a negative impact on the property immediately.
If stains / marks / soiling does not remove with cleaning or specialist cleaning compensation will then apply.
Be advised that if a bathroom/en suite is not fully tiled from ceiling to floor a shower hose attachment must not be used on the
mixer tap as a stand-up shower as this will cause severe damage to the walls for which the tenants may well be liable. Mixer
attachments are only designed for low level use.
Blinds in the premises are visually checked. We are unable to verify that the blinds comply with child safety requirements of BS EN
13120:2009 + A1:2014 placed on the manufacturer, supplier and professional installation of internal window blinds.
Young children can be strangled by loops in pull cords, chains, tapes & inner cords that operate the product. To avoid
strangulation & entanglement keep cords out of reach of young children. Cords may become wrapped around a child’s neck.
Move beds, cots & furniture away from window covering cords. Do not tie the cords together. Make sure cords do not twist &
contain a loop. A hook or cleat should be fitted.
The clerk is limited to the information provided by the agent and Oakley Jane LTD will not be held responsible for any errors or omissions
if this Information is not provided, for example location / confirmation of garage / parking space, meters, gardens / outside areas /
outbuildings, and whether the property has been professionally cleaned. Please note that we are unable to lift items of furniture or test
appliances.
Please note smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms can only be checked for power. Oakley Jane cannot therefore guarantee they
are in full working order.
If at the time of a check in or check out the Landlords or tenants items / furniture are present & we have been instructed to continue with
the appointment Oakley Jane cannot be held responsible for any damage not seen, or any cleaning issues arising due to the above
circumstances.
When provided with a non Oakley Jane inventory please be advised that we are limited to the information provided, and cannot be held
responsible for lack of descriptions or inaccuracies in the original document.
Property left in lofts, cellars, locked rooms or boxed up items which will have not been inventoried, are the sole responsibility of the
landlord. It is strongly recommended that if possible the property is visited by the Landlord (or representative) before the release of the
deposit.
Under no circumstances can Oakley Jane Ltd be held responsible for any damage, missing items, errors or omissions once seven days
have elapsed from the date of the checkout appointment. Furthermore, such liability ends immediately a new tenant moves into the
property or it is occupied under any other circumstances including the landlord taking possession. Once the checkout report is produced, if
any other third party such as tradesmen or cleaners (but not the instructing letting agent or landlord) gain access to the property, our
above-mentioned liability will also end unconditionally.
The check out report highlights condition / cleanliness changes only. All areas have been thoroughly inspected and checked against the
original inventory. If an item / area is in same condition as stated on the original inventory or showing normal tolerances of general wear &
tear for the length of the tenancy, no comments will be made.
The tenant has an obligation to leave the property to the same cleanliness standard as at the start of the tenancy. Items in new condition
at the start of the tenancy (or fitted new during the tenancy) must be professionally cleaned at the end of the tenancy to achieve the best
cleanliness possible. Where items are heavily soiled or marked, it is advised that any remaining permanent defects after cleaning will be
eligible for compensation. If any professional cleaning has been carried out, a copy of the invoice/receipt is to be provided at the time of
checking-out.
If there is evidence that there has been a condensation issue during this tenancy and areas of black spotting/markings are present these
will be noted in the report. The control of condensation is the responsibility of the tenant through ensuring adequate temperature and
ventilation is provided at all times.
Carpets: If carpets were professionally cleaned at the start of the tenancy, carpets will require professional cleaning at the end of the
tenancy. It should be noted that self-cleaning with a carpet cleaning machine does not qualify for professional cleaning. Carpets should
be fumigated as well as professionally cleaned if there have been pets living at the property. Please note that any odours, stains,
shrinkage, or condensation issues / mould arising after the checkout appointment & during the drying progress will be the tenant’s
responsibility. Oakley Jane will not accept any liability for subsequent costs incurred.
It is the tenants responsibility to remove all items from the loft /garage / and any areas surrounding the property- Oakley Jane do not
inspect lofts & cannot be held responsible for these areas not being cleared.
Communal areas. Under no circumstances can tenants leave items in the communal areas due to fire safety risks.
Health & safety is of utmost importance to Oakley Jane & our clerks will advise if an area is unsafe to check and cannot be held
responsible for any damage not seen at this time as a subsequent visit maybe necessary when all risks are eliminated.

CONTROL OF LEGIONELLA IN HOT & COLD-WATER SYSTEMS FOR OCCUPIERS OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY
Legionnaires’ disease is a form of pneumonia caused by the legionella bacteria and can kill. Legionella are bacteria common in natural rivers, lakes &
artificial water systems such as hot &cold-water systems, storage tanks, pipe work, taps & showers.
Other possible sources of legionella include spa & whirlpool baths, humidifiers, drinking water systems, water features, garden hoses & sprinklers.
Legionella bacteria can survive in low temperatures, but thrive between 20oC & 45oC. Temperatures above 50oC will kill the bacteria. The infection is
caused by the inhalation of water droplets or spray –mists which have been contaminated by the bacteria. Those most at risk include elderly people,
smokers, heavy drinkers & those suffering from long term illness. It is not contracted through drinking contaminated water & cannot be passed
from person to person.
The risk is very small but to ensure legionella remains under control, always ensure you do the following:
· Ensure the temperature of the hot water setting on the boiler is set to at least 55oC (but no more than 60oC)
· If there is a not water cylinder, ensure the thermostat is set to at least 55oC (up to 60oC)
· Before you move in & if you go away for more than a week heat the hot water to 60oC for at least one hour & then run all taps on full heat for at
least 5 minutes. Shower heads should be placed on the tray or in the bath before being turned on
· Tell your landlord if the hot water doesn’t heat up properly or your cold water becomes too warm
· Shower heads must be dismantled & cleaned quarterly or as indicated by the rate of fouling. If occupants have a long-term illness, smoker, heavy
drinker or elderly, cleaning should be more regular.
· If there are any unused taps for example an outside garden tap or an unused second toilet with hand basin, these must be run weekly throughout
the tenancy
· If there is a spa pool (hot tub, whirlpool bath, spa bath etc.) this MUST be disinfected AFTER EVERY USE according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Keep it clean, keep if moving, and keep the hot, hot & the cold, cold.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Raising the temperature of warm water is one way to control legionella growth, but could also increase the risk of burns & scalding. Please take care
especially if you have children
It is strongly recommended that you read and observe the following information, it will help to facilitate a problem free end of tenancy check-out and
deposit release with minimal or preferably no charges/deductions. This inventory will be checked item for item at the end of the tenancy for condition
changes i.e. damage or deterioration beyond fair wear and & tear (FW&T). Taking into account the tenancy duration/occupants, inspection and
findings will form the basis of the Check Out Report. In readiness for the check-out process, all items must be placed in the same location within the
property as at the start of the tenancy, this includes items that may have been packed away for the duration of the tenancy. If relevant, such items
must be unpacked, cleaned and if relevant, pressed and re-hung e.g. curtains. The Managing Agent or Landlord must be informed of any items
removed or added to the property. Failure to comply with this guidance may result in a charge/deduction.
Check Out Appointment: If you are not ready to leave at the appointed time, the inventory clerk cannot complete the check-out process. This will
result in an abortive check-out charge/deduction and possibly further rent. Please therefore ensure that prior to the appointed time, all items not
belonging to the Landlord have been removed from the property and all cleaning has been completed (not in the process of). All keys must be
available to hand back to the inventory clerk.
Keys: All keys provided at the start of the tenancy will be checked and accounted for at the end of the tenancy, therefore all keys must be handed
back at the appointed time of the check-out. Failure to comply may result in an abortive check out (as above) or a charge/deduction for missing keys
and possibly changing of locks.
Cleaning: In almost all cases, the property will have been cleaned to a professional standard at the start of a tenancy i.e. to a higher level of
cleanliness that is obtained from a general domestic clean. The property is to be left to the same cleanliness standard at the end of the tenancy i.e.
there should be no trace of your occupancy e.g. soap drawer to the washing machine should be unsoiled; no food particles to the fridge/freezer; no
finger marks to light switches or paintwork; no debris to cupboards/drawers or under sofa cushions etc.
This is achievable without a professional company being employed but if you wish, your managing agent will be able to recommend professional
cleaners to help you ensure that the property meets an acceptable standard, in particular windows, hard floors, woodwork, sanitary ware and fittings,
cooker extractor hoods/fans, appliances, kitchen units/shelves, bathroom extractor fans etc. Failure to fulfil this obligation will result in a charge/
deduction without doubt. N.B. If you employ a professional cleaner, you will be required to provide a copy of the invoice to the inventory clerk at the
time of check-out for the cleaning work carried out.
Carpets: In almost all cases, carpets will have been cleaned to a professional standard at the start of the tenancy i.e. to a higher level of cleanliness
that is obtained from a hired shampoo appliance. New carpets are deemed to have been professionally cleaned. Carpets are to be left to the same
cleanliness standard as at the start of the tenancy i.e. thoroughly vacuumed and professionally cleaned at the end of the tenancy. Failure to fulfil this
obligation will result in a charge/deduction without doubt. Damage e.g. cigarette burns, iron burns etc or residual stains after cleaning will result in a
charge/deduction. N.B. If you employ a professional cleaner, you will be required to provide a copy of the invoice to the inventory clerk at the time of
check-out for the cleaning work carried out.
Decoration (& Wood or Laminate Floors): It is accepted that during day-to-day living, “usage” marks will occur e.g. minor scuffs/marks to walls; minor
chips to door frames etc. Unless excessive, minor scuffs/marks should be considered fair wear and tear however, hooks/nails driven in, excessive
furniture rubs/lines, pencil or crayon marks, tears to wallpaper, damage to walls or woodwork etc will result in a charge/deduction. The spirit of this
statement also applies to wood or laminate floors.
Crockery, Cutlery, Pots & Pans, Kitchen Utensils: If applicable, these types of items must be placed in the same location within the property as at the
start of the tenancy, visibly accessible and clean. Items will be checked for cleanliness, cracks and chips, burn marks, loose handles to pans etc. It is
accepted that during day-to-day living, there will be fair wear and tear. Damage will result in a charge/deduction.
Beds, Bedding, Household Linen: If applicable, beds, bases, mattresses, pillows and duvets will be examined for additional staining and damage,
staining can be avoided through the use of protectors. All other household linen must be placed in the same location within the property as at the start
44
68 Penrith Road, Basingstoke, Hampshire, RG21 8UR - 12.12.20
of the tenancy, visibly accessible, washed and pressed. Unnecessary damage will result in a charge/deduction.
Furniture, Soft Furnishings: If applicable, polished furniture will be checked for scratches, ring marks, soiling and damage. Repair costs and re-
polishing charges are high. It is in your interest to take steps to protect furniture e.g. use coasters/placemats. Soft furnishings are expected to be left
in a similar condition to the start of the tenancy. Unnecessary damage, staining, soiling or discolouration will result in a charge/deduction.
Gardens/External Areas: If applicable, unless a gardening service is provided within the tenancy agreement, you will be required to maintain all
external areas e.g. lawns, minor pruning of shrubs/hedges, general weeding and turning over of borders, sweeping pathways/garage floors etc.
External areas are expected to be left in a similar condition to the start of the tenancy. Failure to comply will result in a charge/deduction. N.B. It is
recommended that major pruning/trimming of shrubs is not carried out without permission from the Agent or Landlord.
Post: Royal Mail https://www.royalmail.com/personal/receiving-mail/redirection can provide information about redirection of post, including a free
service to notify companies of your new address including Banks, DVLA etc. Alternatively, the following site is also free! http://www.iammoving.com/
It is the responsibility of the landlord to ensure that a property file is available at the property, which should include user instruction manuals for
appliances or any other information required to enable a tenant to successfully operate items within the property. Where possible, all keys should be
tagged. This inventory has been produced after carrying out a visual inspection of the property and it should be noted that items above eye-level can
only be inspected from a floor standing position due to health and safety risk for the Inventory Clerk. Inspection does not extend to testing of
appliances, electrical items, boiler and/or heating systems, radiators, security alarms, specifying names of plants/shrubs/trees, inspection of loft
contents or any boxed items – all accountable items must be visible and readily available for checking.
For un-furnished properties, items within the inventory will be restricted to fixtures & fittings. Properties marketed as un-furnished should be cleared of
wall hanging items such as pictures and mirrors, ornaments, bedding, kitchen items etc.
For furnished properties, furniture will not be moved for inspection of walls or flooring. Apart from fixtures and fittings, specific itemisation will be
restricted to furniture and wall hangings whereas other miscellaneous low value or expendable items will be listed in general terms e.g. ornaments,
kitchen items, bedding etc.
In all cases, items left or stored to external areas, including garages and sheds will not be specifically listed unless considered to be an item of value.
Similarly, miscellaneous personal possessions left at the property will not be itemised and are left at the Landlord’s risk. It is therefore recommended
that such items are removed because the tenant is not responsible for the safe keeping of such items, this includes any boxed items. For the
avoidance of doubt and to demonstrate the meaning of this paragraph: -
Boxed Items: Boxes will not be opened for inspection. Items of Value: Inventory Clerks and Tenants cannot be held responsible for knowing the value
of miscellaneous items left at the property. It is therefore recommended that any items of value are removed before the start of a tenancy. Items left
will be at the Landlord’s own risk. Beds, Bedding & Linen: Once used, bedding/linen is considered to have little or no value. Used items will not be
itemised but instead listed in general terms e.g. assortment of bedding. Made up beds will not have mattresses checked, stripping and re-making of
beds is not included within the inventory service provided. If left at the property, bedding should be folded and stored. In current times, Tenants rarely
wish to use items used by previous tenants and will usually bag/box such items up, only to get them out again at the end of the tenancy. This usually
means that items are not freshly cleaned and only serves to provide a negative impact on the next Tenant into the property. It is therefore
recommended that bedding is not included in furnished properties. Kitchen Equipment: Once used, kitchen items are considered to have little or no
value. Used items will not be itemised but instead listed in general terms e.g. assortment of cutlery and utensils. In current times, Tenants rarely wish
to use items
used by previous tenants and will usually bag/box such items up, only to get them out again at the end of the tenancy. This usually means that items
are not freshly cleaned and only serves to provide a negative impact on the next new Tenant moving into the property. It is therefore recommended
that kitchen equipment is not included in furnished properties. Personal Items: Miscellaneous items of a personal nature will not be itemised but
instead listed in general terms e.g. Landlord’s personal items. The tenant is not responsible for the safe keeping of such items. Garages & Outside
Storage Areas: Large items of value such as lawn mowers and electrical garden equipment will be itemised however, other miscellaneous items such
as paint, decorating items, small tools, toys, etc will not be specifically listed. Consumables: Should items such as those described above, specifically
bedding, linen, towels, oven gloves etc be left at the property these will be considered as consumable, meaning they have a one tenancy life term.
Shower curtains come under this same category. N.B. Every attempt will be made to complete the inventory process within the standard time
allocated for the size of the property however, for heavily furnished properties, if this is not possible there will be a surcharge for additional time spent.
DISCLAIMER
Oakley Jane Ltd undertakes this inventory, and provides a fair and accurate record of the condition and contents of the property, and the property’s
internal condition. It is the responsibility of the Landlord and the Tenant or the respective Agents to agree between themselves the accuracy of this
report.
The person preparing the inventory is not an expert in fabrics, woods, materials, antiques etc, or a qualified surveyor. The inventory should not be
used as an accurate description of each piece of furniture and equipment, or as a structural survey report.
If any additional items are to be listed, this will be at the Landlords request only. Property left in boxes, lofts, cellars and locked rooms, which have not
been inventoried, are the sole responsibility of the landlord.
The Fire and Safety Regulations regarding furnishings gas, electrical and similar services are ultimately the responsibility of the Instructing/Principal.
Where the inventory notes that FFR is seen, this should not be interpreted to mean that the item complies with the “Furniture and Furnishings (fire)
(safety) (Amendments) 1993. This is a record that the item had a label as described or similar to that detailed in the Guide to the Furniture &
Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations as published by the Department of Trade and Industry, January 1997, (or subsequent edition), attached at the
time of the inventory compiled. It is not a statement that the item can be considered to comply with the regulations.

Whilst all care and diligence will be undertaken during the compilation of the Inventory, heavy appliances and obstructing furniture will not be moved,
therefore flooring beneath and walls behind these items will not be inspected. Responsibility for these areas will remain with either the Acting Agent or
Landlord.
