Pinstripe Inventories

What Pinstripe Inventories does

Pinstripe Inventories is a Scottish B2B services company that produces property inventory, check-out, and inspection reports for residential letting agencies and property managers. Founded in 2008/2009 in Edinburgh, it claims to be Scotland's first ARLA-accredited inventory provider and has operated for approximately 15 years, delivering over 10,000 reports annually across six Scottish cities (Edinburgh, Glasgow, Fife, Stirling & Falkirk, Dundee, Aberdeen) supported by three regional offices. The service is fundamentally labour-intensive: trained clerks attend properties in person to document fixtures, fittings, condition, and meter readings, with extensive photography, and return PDF reports within a standard 24-hour turnaround.

The company's proprietary technology layer is Pinstripe Live, an online booking and report management platform that lets letting-agency clients schedule appointments, track report status, view full-size photographs, and permit tenants to add comments and photos directly into reports. The firm supplements its core inventory and check-out products with floor plans, void property inspections, fire risk assessments, and legionella risk assessments — adjacent compliance services that broaden wallet share per client. There is no disclosed API, no third-party integrations, and no AI/ML capability.

Revenue is generated on a per-job, quote-based pricing model (pricing not publicly disclosed), billed pay-as-you-go with a freemium free trial offered to property managers with 100+ properties. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: relationships with mid-market and a few enterprise letting agencies (e.g., Rettie & Co, Belvoir Lettings, Student Cribs), supplemented by ARLA accreditation as a trust signal and client referrals. The company is founder-owned (Dominic Bargeton, Director/Founder; Matthew Mackay, Operations Director), with no external institutional investment or acquisition history disclosed.
