Compare written Melbourne quotes

Provide property type, room count, condition, suburb, vacate date, parking, keys and building access. Compare itemized inclusions, exclusions, timing and price rather than an unsupported average or bond guarantee. Ask whether the provider can service the exact address before booking.

Prepare for the handover visit

Where possible, arrange the clean after personal belongings and trades are cleared. Provide safe entry, alarm and parking instructions and allow time for suitable floors or surfaces to dry. Ask how concerns are reviewed and what any re-clean policy covers, including its timeframe and limits.
