An overview of inventories
© Stroma Certification 2015 | Version 1.0 | Page 5 Part of our 3 day Ecobuild CPD Programme Stroma Certification: Inventory Process
What is an Inventory?
Time & date record of property
condition & its contents
Line in the sand before a tenant
moves in AND
Once a tenant moves out
© Stroma Certification 2015 | Version 1.0 | Page 6 Part of our 3 day Ecobuild CPD Programme Stroma Certification: Inventory Process
Protects landlords and tenants
Fair to all parties involved in the tenancy
Impartial
Why are inventories needed?
© Stroma Certification 2015 | Version 1.0 | Page 7 Part of our 3 day Ecobuild CPD Programme Stroma Certification: Inventory Process
Should be accurate, clear and concise
Evidence and proof of condition/defects - start & end of tenancy
Protects bonds/deposits
Landlord can withhold appropriate levels of deposit/bond where
necessary
Resolve disputes and help in the arbitration process
How are they used?
© Stroma Certification 2015 | Version 1.0 | Page 8 Part of our 3 day Ecobuild CPD Programme Stroma Certification: Inventory Process
Lack of relevant information
Lack of evidence of defects and condition
Missing photography or lack of relevant photography
Unsuitable for dispute resolution or arbitration

Professional Property Services
© Stroma Certification 2015 | Version 1.0 | Page 11 Part of our 3 day Ecobuild CPD Programme Stroma Certification: Inventory Process
Property Professional Services
Energy Assessor role needn’t be singular product line
A DEA can compliment EPC with other specific property
assessments
Estate Agents are often too busy – could they
subcontract products out?
© Stroma Certification 2015 | Version 1.0 | Page 12 Part of our 3 day Ecobuild CPD Programme Stroma Certification: Inventory Process
Why do estate agents subcontract?
Too busy
Downsizing / office closures:
Distance to property is greater
Resource is required in the office
Cost to the business - time, resource
and expenses
Can’t always offer in-house service
Online model (new agents):
National coverage?
No high street presence?
© Stroma Certification 2015 | Version 1.0 | Page 13 Part of our 3 day Ecobuild CPD Programme Stroma Certification: Inventory Process
What concerns do estate agents have?
Competence
Time
Quality
Trust
© Stroma Certification 2015 | Version 1.0 | Page 14 Part of our 3 day Ecobuild CPD Programme Stroma Certification: Inventory Process
What opportunities exist?
© Stroma Certification 2015 | Version 1.0 | Page 15 Part of our 3 day Ecobuild CPD Programme Stroma Certification: Inventory Process
What opportunities exist?
Any product that requires a site visit is an opportunity:
Inventories
Floor Plans
Property Particulars
Photography
Valuations
Legionella Risk Assessments
Gas and electric safety certificates
Vacant inspections (weekly, twice monthly)
Out of hours viewings (peak time viewings are often difficult to cover too)

Inventories
• What key opportunities exist??
© Stroma Certification 2015 | Version 1.0 | Page 17 Part of our 3 day Ecobuild CPD Programme Stroma Certification: Inventory Process
Why you should be interested…
© Stroma Certification 2015 | Version 1.0 | Page 18 Part of our 3 day Ecobuild CPD Programme Stroma Certification: Inventory Process
4.2 million privately rented homes in the UK
Over 8.3 million rented properties
Average tenancy is 2 years
Require an inventory when tenancy changes
Require a closing inventory (often called a check out) when tenancy ends
Some agents require a midterm check or inventory
HUGE MARKET POTENTIAL – fees for inventories are higher than EPCs
Repeatable service:
– An EPC last 10 years.
– An inventory lasts only as long as the tenancy
– This could be as short as 6 months
– The opportunity is the equivalent of around
4 million inventories per year
© Stroma Certification 2015 | Version 1.0 | Page 19 Part of our 3 day Ecobuild CPD Programme Stroma Certification: Inventory Process
As long as the agents and landlords see the value in the
product
How can we consistently provide a good inventory?
How can the standards be set and then maintained?
What is Stroma proposing?
Huge market potential???
