REQUEST A VALUATION

Posted on Monday, June 10, 2024

Avoid a frantic panic on moving-out day by following this end-of-tenancy guide.

• Re-read your lease so you’re clear about what’s expected of you at the end of the contract.
• Notify your friends, family, bank, service providers, local authority and utilities of your upcoming change of address.
• If the property has a garden, complete all necessary maintenance, such as weeding, mowing or raking up leaves.
• Deep clean the property, taking care not to overlook windows, shower screens and the inside of the fridge.
• Take all your furniture and belongings to your new home.
• Return the furniture that was in the property when you moved in to its original position and replace missing/faulty lightbulbs.
• Have all sets of keys on hand to return to the letting agent or landlord.
• Take final gas, water and electricity readings and forward them to the relevant utility provider.
