Pretty sure this is standard practice in England. All of my estate agents have done it too. I assumed the purpose was to prove to the landlord that they actually checked for damage in each room?

This is my personal understanding, that it is to prove to the landlord that they did the inspection.

However, isn't that their problem, not mine? Are they really using people's data to prove their business obligations?
