Common Questions About Switching from Clerks
How much does a professional inventory clerk cost?+
A professional inventory clerk typically charges £100–£200 for a standard inventory report, and £75–£150 for a checkout report. For landlords managing multiple properties, this adds up to thousands per year. FreshRent's free plan covers 2 properties at no cost, and paid plans start at just £4.99/month for up to 10 properties.
Are FreshRent reports as professional as a clerk's?+
Yes — often more so. FreshRent generates branded PDF reports with timestamped photos, AI-written condition descriptions, defect annotations, and meter readings. Unlike clerk reports, you control the level of detail and can include unlimited photos.
Do I need a professional inventory clerk or can I do my own inventory?+
There is no legal requirement to use a professional clerk. You can absolutely create your own inventory reports. FreshRent makes this easy with guided workflows, AI descriptions, and professional PDF output that meets deposit protection scheme standards.
Will a self-made report hold up in a deposit dispute?+
Yes. Deposit protection schemes look for detailed, timestamped evidence of property condition. FreshRent reports include dated photos, room-by-room descriptions, and defect tracking — all the documentation you need to support your case.
How long does it take to create a report with FreshRent?+
A typical inventory report can be completed in 15–30 minutes depending on property size, compared to the 3–5 day turnaround from most clerks. You walk through the property, snap photos, let AI write descriptions, and generate your PDF on the spot.
Can my whole agency use FreshRent instead of hiring clerks?+
Absolutely. FreshRent's Agency and Pro plans support multiple team members and branches. Your entire team can create standardised reports across your portfolio, eliminating the need for external clerks entirely.
