Cirencester, often called the capital of the Cotswolds, has a rental market weighted towards period Cotswold stone homes and higher-value family lets, alongside demand from students and staff at the Royal Agricultural University. In properties with quality finishes, the inventory needs to record more than just what is in each room.
Quality finishes deserve precise descriptions
Oak worktops, range cookers, flagstone and hardwood floors, bespoke joinery and designer fittings are expensive to repair or replace. A good inventory describes each one specifically, including material, condition and any existing marks, with close-up photographs, so that any new damage can be identified clearly.
Age and fair wear and tear
Even high-quality items wear with normal use. Recording the approximate age of carpets, appliances and furniture at check-in allows a fair assessment at the end of the tenancy, taking the item’s life into account rather than charging for full replacement.
Period Cotswold homes
Many properties in and around Cirencester are older stone houses with original features, open fires and gardens. Their character should be recorded honestly, including any existing wear, and any fires or stoves should be matched by working carbon monoxide alarms.
