Charged for a stain that was already there
You noticed it on day one. You didn't take a photo. Now it's £120 for a carpet clean and you can't prove a thing.

Sound familiar?
Losing your deposit unfairly isn't right
Most deposit arguments come down to one question: what was the place like when you moved in? Without evidence, it's your word against theirs, and you're the one waiting for your money back.
Split five ways for damage nobody did
A broken cupboard door in the kitchen, and suddenly everyone's paying. Including you, who barely cooks.
Signed something you never really read
The landlord's inventory said 'good condition' everywhere. It wasn't. But it's your signature on it.
Nobody should pay for damage they didn't cause.
We've got you
Moving in is chaos. Protecting your deposit shouldn't be.
Between unpacking, meeting your housemates and finding the nearest big shop, checking skirting boards is the last thing on your mind. We get it.
That's why HouseGrader does the thinking for you. It tells you what to check, what to photograph and what to write down, then turns it all into a report you can rely on. You just follow along.

Private by default
Your report is yours. You decide who sees it and when.
The difference
Move-out day, two ways.

- Your word against your landlord's
- Paying for damage you didn't cause
- Wasting time filling in paper forms
With HouseGrader
- Every room and item recorded, dated and organised
- Clear evidence of how things looked on day one
- Grounds to challenge unfair deductions
- Moving out feeling calm and prepared
Questions
The things everyone asks.
Yes. Creating your condition report and sending it to your landlord is free. Some optional extras may come with a small fee later, and we'll always tell you up front.
No. Do it today. Your report records the date it was made, so the sooner you do it, the stronger it is. Any damage you notice now is worth recording before anyone forgets it was there.
Your report is your own evidence. If there's a disagreement at the end of your tenancy, your deposit protection scheme offers a free dispute service, and clear, dated evidence of the property's condition is exactly what helps. We can't promise any outcome, but you'll be far better prepared than with a few random photos.
Start with your own room, then add the shared spaces. Doing them together with your housemates means everyone is covered, and nobody ends up paying for someone else's mess.
About 10 minutes for a bedroom. The walk-through tells you exactly what to look at, so you're not wandering around wondering what matters.
Only you, until you choose to share it. You can send it to your landlord, your housemates, or keep it to yourself.
Ten minutes now. Peace of mind at move-out.
Record your room before the boxes are unpacked, and walk into move-out day with the evidence on your side.
