Help us to return
your full deposit

Once you have given us correct notice in writing,
and a date has been agreed to end your tenancy,
there will be a check out booked.

This will involve us inspecting the property against
the amended inventory from the start of you tenancy.
You are welcome to be present at the checkout, as
long as this is arranged with the office before
the end of tenancy.

The following items are often found to be missed
by tenants when preparing to leave a property. These
are simple things that do not cost anything to do
yourself, but are chargeable when we have to arrange
them.

Properties must be clean

This includes things not necessarily in your day
to day domestic clean:

| |
Skirting boards |
| |
Doors and doorframes |
| |
Pendant light shades |
| |
Inside kitchen cupboards and
drawers |
| |
Windows and their frames |
| |
Fridges and freezers should
be defrosted, cleaned and switched off making
sure to leave the door slightly open to prevent
mould |
| |
Soap drawers within washing
machines |
| |
Cookers (Oven, grill, hob,
all shelving, grill pans etc.) |
| |
Extractor hoods cleaned and
filters changed |
| |
Carpets, making sure to remove
any stains |
| |
Curtains and net curtains should
be cleaned to specific instructions |
| |
All furniture and contents
must be located as per the inventory |
| |
Any rubbish should be removed
prior to leaving |
| |
Gardens must be tended, grass
cut and borders weeded |

General items found to be an issue after you have
moved on from a property are such things as:

| |
Mail should be redirected in
good time, as any post handed to the office
will be returned to sender or destroyed |
| |
Utility accounts should be
settled and ultimately closed down |
| |
Standing orders should be cancelled |
| |
A forwarding address should
be supplied to the office, as without it,
deposits cannot be returned |

We hope to return your deposit (less any charges)
as quickly as possible, and in any event no later
than 28 days from the end of tenancy.
