🫟⛓️‍💥 'Fair Wear and Tear' creates its fair share of deposit drama — but the rules really are crystal clear.

🛠 'Fair wear and tear' = normal use + the passage of time.
💥 Damage = tenant responsibility.
🚫 Landlords cannot benefit from ‘Betterment’ — landlords cannot expect replacement on a “new for old” basis as law does not allow for ‘betterment’ at the tenants expense.

🤔💭 When assessing ‘fair wear and tear’ a number of factors need to be taken into account therefore Inventory Clerks will consider:

• Quality + age of items
• Start vs end condition
• Length / type of tenancy
• Number of occupants
• Location + extent of wear
• Any extenuating circumstances

🌤️🐶 Some wear is always expected — carpets flatten, walls mark, sunlight fades fabrics. But stains, burns, damage caused by animals or cigarette type odours (when no smoking was permitted) are NOT fair wear and tear and can lead to deposit deductions / charges.

🔍💼 Detailed and independent inventory and check out inspection reports are the best protection landlords and tenants can rely upon to ensure any decisions reached are fair and based upon evidence.

😤⬇️ Prime Property Checks keep landlords and tenants clear and covered, and disputes minimal.

We’re still on the search for the right person to join our team at Bridges Property Management 🏡

Over the last few weeks, we’ve had some great conversations with some great people, but we’re still on the hunt for that right person to join our growing team.

And we’re opening the door to something a little different…

We are looking to chat to people that don’t necessarily have direct lettings experience. What we’re looking for is someone with relevant, transferable experience, the drive to make a real impact and the ambition to help take our Property Management business to the next level.

Someone who gives 110%, throws themselves into new challenges, isn’t afraid to get stuck in and is always willing to learn.

There’s plenty to learn in this industry, from legislation and regulations to the day-to-day of a busy property management business. But for the right person, we’re committed to investing in your training and development to help you succeed.

If you’re ready for a new challenge and think you could be the person we’re looking for, we’d love to hear from you! 🙌

🥳 🎊 Big News!

📢 😁 I am very proud to share that I have been elected onto the The AIIC (Association of Independent Inventory Clerks) Board of Directors.

🌟 💫 This appointment is a huge step forward for Scotland’s voice in the industry — and a significant milestone for Prime Property Checks.

🎉 🤩 I’m excited to step into this national leadership role with the AIIC supporting the mission that landlords, tenants and letting agents across the UK understand the value of working with a qualified, impartial inventory clerk. Bringing with me almost 25 years of risk, compliance and evidence-gathering experience, my initial focus will be to build upon the extraordinary work that has been and continues to be done by the current Board members and to help shape the future of inventory practice at a time when the sector needs strong, credible and enthusiastic leadership.

🤗🕐 I can't wait to get started!

❓ Do you all remember this post from a couple of months ago?? TOMORROW is the day…….

🦠 Are you ready landlords? Scotland is stepping up on damp and mould — and landlords must too.

🕑 From 6 October 2026, reports of damp and mould must be investigated within 10 working days > a written summary of investigation findings must be provided within a further 3 working days > repairs for substantial damp and mould must then commence within 5 working days.

🕵🏻‍♂️ Investigations must be carried out by someone with the right skills and experience.

🏠 Prime Property Checks can support you by being proactive, identifying and reporting potential damp or mould via any of our inspection types and furthermore, connect you with our partners ResiSure (damp and mould detection specialists), if appropriate — keeping landlords protected and tenants safe.

💪🏻 Healthy homes. Safe tenants. Compliant landlords.

🌱😟 Gardens can be a major source of disputes in rental properties, so clear responsibilities matter.

🌿🧹 Tenants are generally expected to handle routine upkeep — mowing lawns (if tidy at check in), weeding, sweeping patios and keeping outdoor areas clear of rubbish. They’re not responsible for keeping plants alive, replacing dead shrubs or maintaining high maintenance features unless agreed in writing.

🔍📸 As inventory clerks, we treat the garden like any other room: assess safety, take wide angle photos, record seasonal conditions and note any high maintenance features. At check out, our focus is on neglect versus natural wear — things like leaf fall, weathering or thinning lawns are to be expected.

📝⚖️ Ultimately, the tenancy agreement rules all – ensuring expectations and responsibilities are clear at the outset is paramount. If for any reason that fails however, clear evidence and detailed reporting remain the key to preventing and resolving disputes and that is where Prime Property Checks can help.

📍🗺️ The One Where We Went To Montrose!

🚂🚗 Did you know that Prime Property Checks can travel beyond Central Scotland? Late last week saw us up in Montrose, Angus to carry out an inspection at the request of a landlord.

🚇👌🏻We’re happy to travel to areas throughout Scotland to carry out property inspections. If your property is outside Central Scotland, don’t worry — get in touch and we’ll discuss your requirements and see how we can help. Mileage / travel charges may apply depending on the location.

🧽🫧 Cleanliness is one of the most commonly disputed issues at the end of a tenancy.

⚖️🖋️ The following case, handled by SafeDeposits Scotland in August 2026 clearly shows how important it is to ensure that the condition and cleanliness of a property is properly recorded at the start and end of the tenancy, to ensure both landlord and tenant are protected.

📝📸 The final line of the case study states “Inventories and photographic evidence are critical in demonstrating differences”, and this is exactly where Prime Property Checks can support you.
