Self Catering Inventory

Suggested Sample Inventory for Self Catering Properties

Here is a list of the sample inventory that is typically expected in a Self Catering property, although many landlords provide more than this basic list. Churchfield Holiday Lettings have a recommended independent Inventory company, who will be pleased to compile an Inventory for you, please ask for details.

Lounge Inventory for Self Catering Property

  • Sofa bed & Sofa/chairs – there should be seating for the number of people the property sleeps.

  • TV, DVD player, broadband or wifi
  • Waste bin
  • Cushions, prints, rugs, accessories 
  • Books, DVDs and games can be provided for the odd rainy day
  • Smoke Detector

  • Upholstered furnishings must comply with the Furnishing (Fire) Safety Regulations 1988. This applies to furnishings that have been upholstered (i.e. mattress, couch, cushions). All new furniture comes with a label verifying its safety. If you choose to use second-hand (or used) furniture, ensure that it has the appropriate fire-safety labels attached to it.
  • Dining table and chairs to seat the number of people the property will sleep
