Your move-out checklist

Your checklist, done in Three evenings

It covers every room, step by step. Here is one way to work through it this week, so moving day is only the floors and a last look round.

Evening one

Walk every room with the list and your phone

Photograph each room as it is today. Tick what is already clean and circle what needs work. Ten minutes, and you know exactly how big the job is.

Evening two

Start the slow jobs first

The oven, the limescale on the taps and shower screen, the fridge seals and the extractor filter all need soaking time. Get them going early and they wipe clean in minutes. These are the handful of jobs that cost deposits when they are left to the last day.

Moving day

Floors last, then one more walk-through

With the boxes out, do the skirting boards, the floors and a wipe of every switch and door handle. Then walk the list once more and photograph each room again. Dated photos are your own record of how you left the place.

The same list your inspection follows

Every job on the checklist is one a letting agent or landlord looks for when you hand back the keys. Tick them off over the week and you walk into the handover knowing each one is done.
