Group quantities by category

Estimate the number of desks, chairs, cabinets, tables and appliances. A full accounting inventory is not required to start, but a short list is useful.

Photograph the site, not every identical item

Begin with wide room photos, then add a clear example of each furniture type and important damage. A short video can help with large mixed quantities.

Explain building restrictions

Include floor, lifts, loading parking, permitted access hours and any collection permit. These details prevent delays on the agreed day.

Remove data and sensitive assets

Clear documents, data-bearing devices and anything not for sale before inspection. Sensitive information should never be included in photos or the evaluation form.
