End of tenancy ‘check-out’ inspections can be contentious if not handled correctly and can cause wasted time, energy and money for all parties. To help in-house inventory clerks to manage the check-out procedure properly, The Association of Independent Inventory Clerks (AIIC) is launching new one-day workshop, specifically design for letting agents.
The new ‘Check-Out’ workshop will be held on The Hilton Hotel, Bagshot Road, Bracknell RG12 0QJ on Monday 27 February 2012 from 9.30am - 4.30pm.
The new one-day workshop will cover:
• The practicalities of carrying out a check out
• What to look for
• Finding ‘hidden’ damage to ensure that the landlord’s property is protected
• What is chargeable and what is not – being realistic
• Handling your tenant in difficult situations
• How to compile a detailed check out report
• How to avoid going to dispute
Pat Barber, Chair of The AIIC, comments: “We have developed this new course in response to many enquiries for hands-on training on check-out procedures from letting agents. With this new workshop we can now offer in-house clerks training on how to complete a thorough and balanced check-out.
“We know that while many agents use an independent inventory clerk to develop the inventory and manage the check-in, they often handle the check-out to save time and money. Our new course will ensure that agents prepare a professional and thorough ‘check out’ that will protect in the event of a tenant dispute.”
AIIC is a not-for-profit, membership organisation committed to excellence and professionalism in the property inventory process. AIIC works hard to ensure that all landlords, tenants and letting agents understand the importance and benefits of professionally completed property inventories.
