PROPERTY Daryl Summers David Cowan Kent-based business produces unique web-based propery inventory system The brainchild of Daryl Summers and David Cowan, Kent-based business Summers Property Inventories is a new, innovative company that has developed its own unique web-based property inventory system that produces inventory, check-in and check-out reports instantly. Having seen first-hand just how the lack of a decent property inventory has impacted on people's lives, this entrepreneurial duo saw a gap in the market for a well-constructed, but easy to use web-based property inventory business. And this is by no means your conventional app-based system that other inventory providers use to create their reports; Summers Property Inventories has worked tirelessly to produce a compelling, bespoke web-based system that gives full control when it comes to producing reports quickly, efficiently and effectively. So how does it make them different? Composed in real-time using any tablet device, inventories are completed before the company's consultants have even left a property. What's more, they’re published online instantly and a unique passcode is issued for each digital report, which means clients from all parties can login to the website and view their reports in their own time. Every report produced for their clients can be accessed in their own personal client area, whereby clients can manage their properties, fast-track appointments and store all of their reports in one central location. However the business also recognises that some like to have a printed report in addition to digital options, so provide a free of charge, complimentary printed and presented report for every inventory produced. Clients can even print it online and download any high-resolution photos taken at each property. Challenging the status quo, Summers Property Inventories has pushed the industry boundaries and created a pioneering tool that will protect both the assets of the landlords and the deposits of the tenants who chose to occupy these homes. The company's overall aim is to r volutionise e the inventory world by making it more reliable, accessible and modern – a goal they are well on the way to achieving. www.summersproperty.com 0800 690 6647 Solar energy specialist, Newform Energy, achieves the UK’s first 'AA' energy efficiency rating Newform Energy's multi award-winning Hybrid Solar Solution has been installed in a new development of five two-bed apartments located in Whitstable, by specialist thin joint block constructor Masonry Frame Systems.
