About Us
Setting the Standard for Independent Inventory Clerks Since 1996
Since our founding in 1996, the Association of Independent Inventory Clerks (AIIC) has been dedicated to raising industry-wide awareness of the importance of professional, independent inventory reporting.
Our mission is to ensure landlords, tenants, and letting agents across the UK understand the value of working with a qualified, impartial inventory clerk.
Who We Are
We are a membership organisation committed to educating the property industry and supporting clerks with the tools, training, and resources they need to produce high-quality, reliable inventory reports.
Our Evolution
In 2024, the AIIC underwent a major structural transformation to strengthen our ability to meet the needs of the modern rental market. We expanded our Board and assigned dedicated roles covering membership, training, and operations—ensuring stronger leadership and more effective delivery of our objectives.
