Inventory Hive

The inventory is the evidence base for a deposit dispute. If a check-in report is thorough and the check-out comparable to it, a deduction can be justified; if not, the landlord generally loses. Inventory Hive is built around producing that evidence consistently.

What It Does

• Reports: inventories, check-ins, check-outs, interim visits and custom risk assessments
• Comparison: side-by-side check-in against check-out, which is the view an adjudicator effectively needs
• Media: full-screen galleries supporting standard and 360° photography, with support for Ricoh Theta and Insta360 cameras
• Sign-off: e-signing and occupant feedback, so the tenant’s agreement is captured at the time
• Compliance: checklists specific to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

Position

The four-nation checklist split reflects something often flattened in UK lettings software: tenancy law is devolved, and the obligations attached to a let in Scotland differ from those in England. Software that assumes a single UK ruleset creates work for agents operating across borders.

Its stated customers extend past letting agents to specialist inventory clerk firms, build-to-rent operators, housing associations, student accommodation providers and individual landlords. The company holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification and cites a 4.9-star rating across 349 reviews.
