The Home Inventory Service
Because peace of mind starts with knowing what’s yours.
What is a Household Inventory ?
A household inventory is a comprehensive record of all the items and assets within your home, including detailed information about each item’s location, value, and condition. This inventory can include everything from furniture, electronics, and appliances to clothing, artwork, and even smaller, valuable possessions.
Why do you need one?
Insurance Purposes: A well-documented inventory is essential when filing insurance claims. It ensures that you can provide proof of ownership and receive the appropriate compensation for your losses.
Valuation and Asset Management: Having a household inventory helps you understand the total value of your possessions, which can be useful for financial planning, estate planning, and making informed decisions about asset protection.
Moving and Relocation: When moving homes, an inventory helps keep track of your belongings and ensures nothing is lost or damaged during the process. It’s also helpful for efficiently unpacking and organizing your new space.
Estate Planning and Division: In cases where an estate needs to be divided among family members or beneficiaries, an inventory simplifies the process by clearly detailing what items exist and their value.
Simplifying Maintenance and Upkeep: By knowing what items are in your home and where they are located, you can more easily maintain, clean, and organize your living space. This also aids in planning for replacements or repairs for items that are aging or breaking down.
What do we do and what do you get?

Step 1: Initial Assessment and Sorting
Room-by-Room Assessment: We begin with a full assessment of the designated areas or rooms. Each item is carefully removed from its storage location, allowing us to start fresh and work systematically.
Sorting: Items are sorted into categories (e.g., furniture, valuables, electronics, books, clothing, etc.), making it easy to track and organise the inventory process.
Step 2: Cataloguing and Documentation
Detailed Descriptions: Each item is documented with a detailed description, including its condition, brand, model, and any identifying details that add value to the inventory.
Photographic Record: High-resolution photos of each item are taken to provide a clear visual reference. This is particularly useful for valuable or sentimental items and can be essential for insurance or estate management.
Categorisation: Items are categorised for easy reference, helping clients locate items quickly and keeping similar items together (e.g., listing all electronics, cookware, or linens in separate sections of the inventory).
Step 3: Digital and Physical Inventory Report
Digital Inventory: The final inventory is compiled into a digital report, which includes item descriptions, photos, and categories. This report is easily accessible on any device, allowing clients to view their inventory whenever they need it.
Physical Copy: If preferred, a printed inventory can also be provided in a stylish binder, making it easy to keep as a household reference. This copy is organised by room or category, providing a clear and concise overview of belongings.
