ABOUT DOCK INVENTORIES
Clear reporting. Reliable support. Every tenancy stage.
Established in 2009, Dock Inventories has built its business around producing clear, detailed and professionally presented property reports for letting agents, property managers and private landlords across Greater London.
Since then, our reporting process has continued to develop around structured observations, supporting photographs, consistent presentation and internal quality review, helping clients receive reliable records throughout the tenancy lifecycle.

THE DOCK STANDARD
Clear standards behind every report
Every instruction is approached using the same core principles, while the precise content remains appropriate to the property and service requested.
Clear instructions
We confirm the service, appointment, access arrangements and reporting requirements before attendance.
Structured observations
Properties are reviewed methodically, with observations organised in a clear room-by-room format.
Supporting photographs
Relevant photographs support the written record and help the reader identify the areas and items described.
Consistent presentation
Reports follow a recognisable structure so clients can navigate the information more efficiently.
Internal quality review
Completed reports are checked internally before being issued to the agreed recipient.
Responsible information handling
Property and contact information is handled for the purpose of arranging inspections, preparing reports and supporting the instructed service.
WHAT MATTERS TO US
Practical reporting that serves a clear purpose
Dock focuses on producing useful records without making promises or decisions that properly belong to landlords, tenants, agents or qualified specialists.
Clarity
Reports should be understandable, well organised and supported by relevant written and photographic detail.
Reliability
Appointment and access arrangements are confirmed in advance, and completed reports are issued to the agreed recipients.
Independence
Our role is to record observations according to the instructed service, not to decide liability, responsibility or deposit outcomes.
Proportionate reporting
The report should reflect the property, inspection type and information reasonably available during the appointment.
OUR ROLE
Recording what is observed without deciding the outcome
Dock Inventories provides dated property records that can be considered by landlords, tenants, managing agents, developers and other relevant parties.
Where relevant, Dock may express an opinion on fair wear and tear, apparent responsibility or possible liability based on the visible evidence and information available at the time. Any such opinion is not legally binding and does not determine deposit deductions, repair responsibility, the technical cause of a defect or the outcome of any dispute or adjudication.
INDEPENDENT PROPERTY REPORTING
Clear observations within the agreed scope
Each report records matters relevant to the instructed service and reasonably visible or accessible during the appointment. Where specialist investigation is required, the appropriate qualified contractor, surveyor or professional should be instructed separately.
A Dock report provides evidence for consideration. It does not guarantee the outcome of a dispute, claim, repair decision or adjudication.
HOW WE WORK
A clear process from instruction to delivery
Our process is designed to keep the service scope, appointment arrangements and report delivery clear from the outset.
01
Instruction reviewed
We review the requested service, property details, preferred appointment and any specific reporting requirements.
02
Clerk assigned and access confirmed
Once availability has been checked, a suitable clerk is assigned to the instruction. The appointment time, access method, key arrangements, tenant attendance and relevant property contact details are then confirmed before attendance.
03
Inspection completed
The clerk attends the property and records the observations relevant to the instructed service, supported by photographs where appropriate.
04
Report reviewed and delivered
The completed report is internally reviewed for clarity, consistency and completeness before being issued electronically to the agreed recipient.
