List the required work
Use the lease, condition report and agent checklist to identify kitchens, bathrooms, floors, storage, appliances and other areas. Separate cleaning from repairs, damage, fair wear, pest treatment, mould remediation and waste removal so the budget does not combine unrelated work.
Identify optional services
Carpet, upholstery, oven, windows, balconies, garages and exterior areas may need different equipment or access. Ask for each item to be listed separately and confirm whether furniture moving, products, drying time and travel arrangements are included.
Protect the budget from surprises
Provide accurate condition, photos where useful, keys, parking, alarms, pets, floors and inspection timing. Ask about exclusions and additional work before booking. Do not choose a strong chemical or DIY treatment that may damage a surface and create a larger cost.
Compare quotes fairly
Compare the same rooms, inclusions, optional tasks, access requirements and support terms. A responsible provider should not promise a bond refund or an inspection result. Dirt2Tidy can quote a defined end-of-lease scope based on the property information.
