The Truth About Tenancy Deposits: Safeguards, Inventories, and Communication - Ep. 10. Welcome back to The All Things Property Podcast! In this episode, Simon Bacon and Ian Sadler dive deep into one of the thornier subjects of lettings. Security deposits! If you've ever wondered why deposits exist, what really counts as "fair wear and tear," or how an inventory can save both landlords and tenants from awkward disputes at the end of a tenancy, you're in the right place. Drawing from years of hands-on local property management experience, Simon Bacon and Ian Sadler break down how deposit schemes work, what’s legally required for protecting tenants’ money and offer plenty of practical examples, think red wine spills, straightener marks on carpets and chips in the windows, that highlight how subjective and contentious these “damage or wear” questions can be. The hosts share real stories, insights from solicitors and advice to help landlords and tenants navigate the process with greater confidence, clarity and fairness. Whether you’re a property investor, a landlord or planning to rent out your home, this episode is packed with honest guidance and local know-how to help you avoid common pitfalls and manage deposits like a pro.
