A kitchen is the most expensive room to argue about. The photographs you take at check-in are the difference between a clean win and a painful loss at the deposit stage.
Cover the basics
- Overall view of the room from two opposing corners.
- Each run of worktop — close enough to show scratches and marks.
- Inside of every cupboard and drawer.
- Inside of the oven, microwave, fridge, freezer.
- Behind and under the kickboard if you can see it.
The bits that turn into disputes later
- The seal around the sink.
- Grout between tiles.
- Underside of extractor filters.
- Behind the cooker.
Twenty extra photos at check-in are still cheaper than a single lost deposit case.
