Would an adjudicator consider an in-house inventory to be biased in favour of the landlord?
No, the adjudicator would rely on a professionally drawn up inventory whether conducted by an outsourced inventory provider or one drawn up by someone from within the agency. Their main concern is that the inventory is sufficiently detailed to be able to show wear or damage at the end of the term. One of the benefits of membership is that it confirms the professionalism and integrity of the person completing the inventory. Members should be seen to be fair and objective ion their preparation at both the start and finish of the tenancy.
