A property professional comparing inventory report evidence

Research-led support for fair deposit discussions

FairDeductions helps turn report evidence into reasonable deductions.

End-of-tenancy decisions become difficult when evidence is spread across long reports, terminology varies and a fair amount needs context. FairDeductions was built to make that work clearer, more consistent and easier to review.

Evidence linked. Human approved. Built for UK tenancy workflows.

The problem we are solving

People need help preparing a fair proposal, not an unexplained verdict.

A check-out report can contain hundreds of observations. Some describe cleaning, some damage, some fair wear and tear, and others work for the landlord to investigate. The important finding may be a few words inside a long item description.

Landlords need a practical starting point for discussion. Tenants need to understand what is being proposed and why. Both need the original evidence to remain visible.

FairDeductions brings those decisions into one structured, reviewable proposal.

01

What changed?

Connect the check-in baseline to the clerk's check-out finding and source page.

02

Who needs to act?

Separate possible tenant deductions from landlord maintenance, queries and fair wear.

03

What is reasonable?

Suggest a proportionate remedy and opening amount, with uncertainty made clear.

Ongoing product research

We study how real inventory evidence behaves.

The product is tested against varied report structures and terminology. What we learn is turned into general methods that can work across providers, rather than rules written for one property or one report template.

Report language

How different inventory providers use keys, abbreviations, tables and responsibility labels to describe the same underlying issue.

Evidence matching

How rooms and items can still be compared when references, descriptions or report structures change between check-in and check-out.

Proportionate remedies

How the evidence supports cleaning, removal, repair, replacement, inspection or no separate charge without treating every difference as a claim.

Confidence and limits

Where the baseline, photographs, item identity, age, quality or pricing evidence is too weak for a confident suggestion.

The FairDeductions method

A joined-up review from two reports to an editable proposal.

  1. 01

    Read each report in context

    The terminology key, room structure, item wording and source pages are considered before individual observations are classified.

  2. 02

    Connect the evidence

    Check-in condition and check-out findings are matched using references where possible, then room and item context where references have changed.

  3. 03

    Build a proportionate opening proposal

    Possible tenant deductions are separated from landlord work and queries, categorised, priced and adjusted for the evidence available.

  4. 04

    Keep a person in control

    Every item, amount and explanation remains reviewable. FairDeductions organises the evidence; the user makes the final decision.

Why proportion matters

A sensible opening proposal can make the next conversation easier.

Clearer for landlords

Genuine loss can be difficult to explain when the report is long or incomplete. A structured proposal helps the landlord check the evidence, avoid unsupported claims and start with a figure they can explain.

Clearer for tenants

A tenant should be able to see what is being proposed, the reason for it and the amount. Clearer evidence and proportionate figures can reduce confusion and make agreement more achievable.

Built for this specific job

Property experience, careful testing and responsible AI.

FairDeductions grew from years of property-sector experience and hands-on work with the way inventory and check-out reports are produced. The product combines that context with ongoing testing of evidence extraction, matching, responsibility language, remedies and pricing.

It is not a generic chatbot and it does not determine liability or guarantee an adjudication outcome. It organises the available evidence, identifies gaps and prepares an editable opening proposal for a person to approve.

Our aim is straightforward: better reporting, stronger evidence and fairer outcomes for everyone.
