Start with tenancy records
Review the lease, condition report and current property-manager directions. Note vacancy, keys, access window, rooms and requested tasks. Clarify disputed responsibilities with the agent; an online article is not legal advice.
Plan coastal and furnished-property tasks
Mention salt or sand residue if present, and list furniture, appliances, balconies, carpets and windows requiring attention. Specialist tasks need separate assessment. Damage, wear, mould remediation, pests, repairs and hazardous waste are not resolved by ordinary cleaning.
Compare scope and provider terms
Confirm written inclusions, exclusions, price basis, timing and any re-clean policy. Check the policy's eligibility, limit and timeframe; it does not guarantee bond return or inspection approval.
Prepare access and final handover
Arrange parking, keys, utilities and cleared rooms where possible. Document existing damage and keep repair requests separate. Share photos and the handover list so the quote reflects the actual property.
