What are the benefits of End of tenancy cleaning?
1. Increases chances of getting your full deposit back
Deposits are usually around 6 weeks rent, which is a lot of money to lose. By investing in end of tenancy cleaning services you dramatically increase your chance of getting your full deposit back. Landlords and letting agents want to see that the property you’re vacating from looks like it did when you first moved in.
With the best will in the world, attempting the deep cleaning yourself is unlikely to deliver professional results.
End of tenancy cleaning services know exactly what landlords and letting agents expect and have all the equipment and expertise to deliver an exceptional clean.
Often letting agents will want receipt proof that you paid for a professional end of tenancy clean, and the Deposit Protection services may ask for proof of this if there are any deposit disputes, so it’s definitely worth investing.
2. Takes the stress out of your move
They say moving house is one the most stressful life events. With packing, closing down bill accounts and organising your move, cleaning probably feels like another thing to add to your endless list of things to do.
Moving is mentally and physically exhausting. Leaving your end of tenancy clean to the professionals gives you more time to focus on packing and preparing for your move.
3. Saves you money in the long run
The price of an end of tenancy clean will vary depending on the size of your house etc. Purchasing all the necessary cleaning products and spending hours scrubbing a property you no longer live in seems counterproductive, particularly if your own clean could mean you actually lose out on deposit money. Paying professional end of tenancy cleaning services to carry out your cleaning means it’s less likely for there to be costly disputes.
4. Cleaning is thorough
End of tenancy cleaning should cover every inch of the property you’re vacating.
Your landlord or letting agent will often provide a checklist that you can refer to which outlines how they expect the property to be left. You should have also received an inventory when you moved in that you can refer to. Professional end of tenancy cleaners will often have their own cleaning checklist based on industry standards, so you can rest assured that their cleaning standards will ensure you successfully pass your final inventory check
