      Thank you for the explanation. It’s definitely worth thinking about in the future.

        I can understand it would be easy to work out on a branded kettle etc however I was referring to large pieces of furniture which are not branded.
        Some of the jobs we do are on 5 bedroom properties full of non matching old and new furniture. Where would you start when trying to work out where they were bought from? It would take forever and a day and the result wouldn’t be 100% correct – that’s why we leave it to the landlord to confirm the brand age price etc.

          Thank you very much Sarah -I’ll take a look.

          Prue-Clifton. I personally like to stick to facts on my reports therefore guessing the supplier, brand age and cost of an item is not something I am comfortable in doing.
          We suggest the liability and the agent will then contact the landlord to ask the age and cost of said item. They then work out a suitable amount to propose as a deduction.

          Out of interest how many other clerks on here suggest costs?

            Hi

            We have just started adding in tenant or landlord liability but we do not add costs as we do not how much the item cost at the start etc. All the agents appreciate the comments as it makes their lives a little easier!

            Can I ask where I can see the check out template? Is it in the starter pack you need to buy for £50?

                When you buy a brand new battery operated smoke alarm / Co2 detector the instructions from the manufacturers clearly state to “test” you need to fit a battery and push the test button. Why would Inventory clerks be expected to perform any other tests? My thoughts are we are not expected to do any other tests than to push a button. If further tests need to be carried out to make them safe then it would be written in the instructions…surely?
