CheckoutProof turns a phone walkthrough into a timestamped property inventory, then scores any deduction against the deposit schemes’ own rules on fair wear and betterment — with the arithmetic shown.
THE SAME CALCULATION, WHICHEVER SIDE YOU’RE ON
Start here
Document your move-in and move-out, and see which parts of a proposed deduction actually stand up under the schemes’ rules.
Defensible check-in and check-out reports for your own properties, with apportionment already applied — so you claim what’s fair and can prove it.
A 20-minute guided capture instead of an outsourced visit. Team accounts, unlimited properties, branded reports and a web dashboard.
How it works
The same four steps whoever you are — only the pricing and the team features differ.
Room by room, guided. Photograph each surface and talk through what you see. Works with no signal.
Your spoken notes are transcribed and every item is graded for condition and cleanliness. Review and adjust anything.
The tenant signs. The PDF is hashed, so it can be shown later that nothing was quietly altered.
The same rooms, side by side with the original photos. What changed is identified and costed.
Why the number holds up
Most tools either hand you a photo album with no figures, or let a model invent an amount. Neither survives scrutiny, so we split the job: AI reports what changed, and a fixed rule set works out what it’s worth.
A burn in a £600 carpet that was already a year old, after a five-year tenancy. A mid-range carpet lasts about eight years.
Not £600 — because replacing an aged item would leave the landlord better off than they started. That principle is betterment, and it’s applied line by line, with the workings printed in the report so anyone can check them by hand.
