Four steps

How to print a home inventory

  1. 1

    Start from this form

    Opens on the home inventory: Room, Date, a table, a note and the rest.

  2. 2

    Put your own heading on it

    Replace "Home Inventory" with a name, a business or a date range.

  3. 3

    Set the row height

    18 rows at 6 mm fits more in; 14 mm suits a form filled in by hand.

    Serial numbers on the few expensive things, before anything else is the line to get right.

Who prints this

Anyone who has just renewed contents insurance and realised they could not actually list what is covered. Also worth doing before a move, for the same reason.

The field that decides whether it works

Serial numbers on the few expensive things, before anything else. A claim on a television is settled by the serial number; a claim on "a television" is an argument.

Why it is laid out this way

One room to a sheet, with make, model, serial and value as separate columns. An insurer asks for those four things individually, so a sheet that runs them together into a description creates work at the moment you least want any.

What is on the sheet

3 sections, in this order: Room, Date; a table; a note. Set the row height anywhere between 6 and 14 mm across its 18 ruled rows, put your own heading at the top, and find the home inventory alongside 4 other forms on the household forms page.
