QUICK ANSWER
An end-of-tenancy checklist helps prepare a realistic cleaning request by identifying rooms, appliances, current condition, carpets, access and inventory-related concerns. It does not replace an inventory process or determine a deposit outcome.
Before requesting an estimate
Clear photographs, property size, occupancy status, furnishings, access arrangements and any inventory concerns give tenants, landlords and agents a more accurate starting point.
- List rooms and appliances included.
- Photograph current condition and priority areas.
- Confirm access, keys and parking.
- Identify separately assessed carpet, oven, upholstery or specialist work.
Keep the handover factual
The written clean scope should be used alongside any inventory process. CLEANWISE can complete the agreed cleaning work, but does not promise a deposit outcome or make decisions on behalf of landlords, agents or deposit schemes.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW
Every property and site needs its own confirmed scope.
Guidance can help you prepare, but the final service depends on the condition, access, timing, safety and requirements you share. Where something needs further assessment, CLEANWISE will explain the appropriate next step.
GUIDE FAQS
Common questions about this guide.
Should I clean before the inventory visit?
The timing should be agreed with the landlord or agent. CLEANWISE can complete the agreed scope but does not control the inventory process.
What should I photograph?
Photograph priority areas, appliances, carpets, furnishings and any stains or residue that may need separate assessment.
Can tenants and landlords request the same service?
Yes, where the scope and access are suitable. The service is agreed around the actual property condition and handover requirements.
Are mould or maintenance issues part of cleaning?
Some conditions may require maintenance, remediation or specialist assessment rather than routine cleaning. Raise them clearly before the scope is confirmed.
