This builds the figures of a property condition report in the order a deposit adjudicator reads them. It counts the items checked across the rooms and the exterior, logs the defects by grade, prices them at your own repair costs, takes off the share you judge to be fair wear and tear, and ends on the tenant-chargeable figure. It also shows the time on site and the photos in the report, because those are what the inspection actually costs you. Free, on the page, no account; the paid plan saves it against the property and sends it under your own name.

Items checked is the number that proves the inspection happened

A report that lists seven defects and nothing else cannot show that the other seventy-five items were looked at, and it is the seventy-five that matter when the tenant says the mark was already there. The tool counts items per room plus the exterior so the report carries its own scope: how many things were checked, of which how many were wrong. That ratio is also what tells an owner whether a property is being kept or being worn out.

Three grades and your own costs, because a defended figure beats a precise one

Minor, moderate and major is enough: a scuff, a broken fitting, a trade visit. The cost against each grade is yours, the figure you would actually pay your contractor, because the number that survives a dispute is the one with an invoice behind it. The tool prints the make-ready cost as the sum of those, and the paid plan keeps the costs you set so the next report starts with them.

Wear and tear comes off first, and the tenant's figure ends the page

Fair wear and tear is the owner's cost and the first thing a deposit scheme looks for, so the report shows it as a share taken off the make-ready total before the tenant's figure is stated. The share is your judgement for the age and use of the property, entered as a number so it is visible rather than implied. The last figure on the page is the one the tenant is asked for, and nothing follows it.

Property condition report: common questions

Is this a free property condition report template?

Yes. It builds the report's figures on the page with no account and no card: items checked, defects by grade, make-ready cost, the wear-and-tear share and the tenant-chargeable figure, plus the time and photos. Print it as it stands. WalkthroughDesk Pro adds your agency name, logo and license number, a clean PDF without our line, saving it against the property, and the move-in report beside the move-out one.

What counts as fair wear and tear?

The deterioration that comes from ordinary use and time rather than from carelessness or misuse: faded paint, worn carpet in a walkway, small marks on walls after a long tenancy. It is the owner's cost. What share of a given repair is wear and tear is a judgement for the age of the property, the length of the tenancy and the item itself, and deposit schemes and courts make it case by case; the tool shows the share you applied so the judgement is on the page rather than hidden in the total.

How many photos should a condition report have?

At least one per room showing the whole space, and one per defect close enough to show what it is, which is why the tool asks for photos per room and prints the total. On the worked example six rooms at six photos each is 36; a report with fewer photos than defects is short of evidence.

Can I use this for a move-in inspection as well as a move-out?

Yes, and you should: the move-in report is the one with no defects to price and every item recorded as fine, which is exactly the evidence the move-out report is compared against. Enter zero defects and the tool still counts the items and photos, which are the point of a move-in report. The paid plan files both against the property so the comparison is one click.
