Having a household inventory checklist helps prepare you for an unforeseen event. That way, if the unexpected does happen, you'll be ready to react to and recover from damages. Here are some helpful tips on how to create a home inventory list today.
HOW TO CREATE A HOME INVENTORY LIST
A household inventory list should include a detailed account of everything in your home, from the floor to the attic. Anything you have purchased should be included on the list. Developing a detailed inventory list might take some time and effort. However, the more detailed you are, the more useful the comprehensive list can be later on. Here are some tips to help you build a home inventory list:
- Take all items inside and outside of the home into account
- Walk through the home and write down each item's age, make, model,
serial number, and estimated value - Take photos or videos of all items to include with the written list
- Keep receipts, purchase contracts, and appraisals with the inventory list
- Consider using an app or a document within a cloud-based system to
store the inventory list - Make copies of the inventory list and back it up online or on an external hard drive
- Keep the list updated as new purchases are made
- Check insurance coverage for high-price items
