Professional Mid-Term Inspection Services in London
A mid-term inspection is an essential part of responsible property management, providing landlords and letting agents with a thorough assessment of a rental property’s condition during an active tenancy. At Click Inventories, our mid-term inspection service is carried out by AIIC-accredited inventory clerks who deliver detailed, impartial reports that protect both landlords and tenants throughout the rental period.
Whether you manage a portfolio of properties across London or oversee a single buy-to-let investment, scheduling a mid-term inspection at the right time can help you identify maintenance issues early, ensure the tenant is meeting the terms of the tenancy agreement, and maintain the overall value of your property. Our inspections are typically recommended every three to six months, in line with guidance from industry bodies such as the Association of Independent Inventory Clerks (AIIC).
What Is a Mid-Term Inspection?
A mid-term inspection is a routine visit conducted partway through a tenancy to check the general condition of a property. Unlike a full inventory or check-in report, the inspection compares the current state of the property against the original check-in report to identify any changes, damage, or maintenance concerns that may have arisen since the tenancy began. This comparison is critical because it provides an objective record that can be referenced if disputes arise at the end of the tenancy.
During the inspection, our clerks assess the condition of walls, floors, ceilings, fixtures, fittings, appliances, and outdoor areas where applicable. They also document cleanliness levels, check smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, note any unauthorised alterations, and flag any signs of damp, mould, or structural issues that may require attention. Photographs are taken throughout to support the written report.
Why Book a Mid-Term Inspection With Click Inventories?
Click Inventories is a trusted name in property inventory services across London. Every inspection we carry out is completed by an independent, AIIC-accredited clerk who follows a strict, standardised reporting process. This means you receive a consistent, high-quality report every time — one that stands up to scrutiny in the event of a tenancy deposit dispute.
Our reports are delivered promptly after the inspection, typically within 24 to 48 hours, and include detailed written commentary alongside dated, time-stamped photographs. We cover all London postcodes, including properties outside the M25, with a small travel supplement for out-of-area locations. All prices shown below are inclusive of VAT with no hidden fees.
When Should You Arrange a Mid-Term Inspection?
Most landlords and agents schedule an inspection between three and six months into a tenancy, though the timing can vary depending on the length of the tenancy agreement and individual circumstances. For longer tenancies, multiple inspections may be appropriate — for example, every six months on a two-year agreement. Regular inspections demonstrate that the landlord takes property maintenance seriously and can help maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship by catching small issues before they become larger problems.
It is important to note that a valid check-in report must exist for the current tenancy before an inspection of this type can be carried out. If no check-in report is available, we recommend booking a condition report instead, which documents the property’s current state independently. You can view our full range of services, including inventory check-in reports and check-out reports, to find the right solution for your property.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mid-Term Inspections
How long does a mid-term inspection take? The duration of the inspection depends on the size and condition of the property. A studio or one-bedroom flat typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes, while a larger house with four or five bedrooms may take up to 90 minutes. Our clerks are thorough but efficient, ensuring every room is properly assessed and photographed without unnecessary delays.
Do I need to be present during the mid-term inspection? You do not need to be present during the inspection, although you are welcome to attend if you wish. Many landlords and agents arrange key access or instruct the tenant to provide entry. If the tenant is present, our clerk will conduct the inspection independently to ensure objectivity.
What happens after the inspection is completed? Once the inspection has been carried out, our clerk compiles a detailed report that includes written descriptions of every room along with timestamped photographs. If you have paid in full at the time of booking, the report is emailed to you as soon as it is ready, usually within 24 to 48 hours. If you chose to reserve and pay later, the report will be held until payment is received.
Can a mid-term inspection help with deposit disputes? This type of inspection provides a documented record of the property’s condition at a specific point during the tenancy. While it is not a substitute for a check-in or check-out report, it strengthens the overall evidence trail and can support either party’s claims during a deposit dispute adjudicated by a scheme such as the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS).
