	Report Compilation The listed/quoted price is only a guide price and will only be confirmed once the property has been attended. Any rooms not mentioned at the time of quotation will be charged appropriately. Extra areas include hallways/landings, lofts, garages, gardens, sheds, extra receptions, conservatories, studies, basements, bathrooms, guest WC’s, morning rooms, etc. Cancellation Fees & Time Restrictions Clients must be aware that cancellation of an appointment within 24 hours without notification will result in a Cancellation Fee of £75 + VAT. If a clerk is kept waiting for 30 minutes, for any reason, this will result in an abortive visit and will be invoiced accordingly. At the end of a tenancy, all personal items must be removed and cleaning must be concluded prior to check out date and time. If a tenant has not completely moved out or a tenant’s representative is not present, and the check out cannot be conducted within 15 mins of the time scheduled, the booking will be aborted and relevant charges will be incurred. Meter Readings It is the instructing party’s responsibility to make the clerk aware of the locations of any meters and to ensure that they are labelled and accessible. Should meters not be located or accessible to read, no readings will be taken, and Spectrum cannot be held responsible for this. The appropriate utility companies must be assigned to check any meter readings. We cannot be held accountable for any discrepancies. Completed Report Delivery All signed reports will be delivered by recorded delivery to the instructing party within 14 days of the inventory being compiled. General information for all parties An Inventory, Check In, Quarterly Inspection or Check Out present precise records of the contents and condition of the property in question at the date and time the report was carried out. It is essential the tenants sign it as confirmation. If these are conducted without at least 1 tenant’s representative present then 3 copies will be provided to them to sign and post back within 7 days. Please note that it is strongly advised that the parties examine the contents of the report produced prior to signing. Spectrum Inventories cannot be held responsible for any errors or omissions. Any discrepancies regarding the accuracy of the report should be brought to the attention of Spectrum Inventories within 7 days; otherwise it is accepted that the report is accurate. We do not undertake to remark on any structural defects. We are unable to assign a value to any object at the property. We will not move any large or heavy items, nor describe the contents and condition of any unattainable areas, such as basements and lofts, we cannot inspect items put away in such a manner that they cannot be taken out easily to be examined. We do not undertake to comment on the exact specification of items. We will therefore only describe an item as it is seen and will not state if it is antique, designer, modern etc. Any items left in locked rooms or cupboards are the sole responsibility of the landlord and won’t be included in reports. All descriptions within reports are for identification purposes only. Any electrical appliances tested will be for power only and this will only be carried out where practical. Boilers, gas fires, water supply, fire alarms and radiators are not tested. Smoke alarms are only tested where appropriate and provided they are accessible. Regarding electrical appliances tested, no account will be given of the efficiency or safety of the items. We merely state that such an item exists at the property and its current condition. Other areas such as garden, garages, lofts, basements and garden sheds will only be checked upon instruction and an extra charge maybe incurred. The Fire and Safety regulations regarding furnishings, gas and electrical items alike are the responsibility of the Landlord. Where the inventory notes that an FFR label is seen this should not be interpreted as that the item complies with the furniture and furnishings (Fire) (Safety) (Amendments) act of 1993. It is merely a record that the item had a label as described or similar to that detailed in the guide to the regulations as published by the Department of Trade and Industry, January 1997 (or subsequent edition), attached at the time the inventory was compiled.
