Complete end of tenancy property preparation - full assessment, all work coordinated and managed, property delivered back let-ready for next tenants.
From Vacant to Let-Ready
Tenants move out. Now you need the property clean, repaired, safe, and ready to let again - fast, because every week vacant is lost rent.
You could ring around five different contractors, get quotes, coordinate schedules, manage payments, and hope it all comes together on time.
Or call me. One conversation, everything sorted.
💡 Pro tip: The faster you turn a property around between tenancies, the less rent you lose. A well-coordinated turnaround pays for itself in reduced void periods.

| Timeline planned, trades scheduled logically | Painter waiting on cleaner, cleaner waiting on repairs |

What to Expect
Step 1: Assessment
I visit the property once it's vacant. Take photos, make detailed notes of everything needed, check for any issues that aren't obvious at first glance.
Step 2: Quote & Plan
Provide detailed quote breaking down all work needed. Discuss priorities, budget, and timeline. Agree what's getting done and when.
Step 3: Coordinate Everything
Book and manage all trades - cleaners, decorators, repair specialists, gardeners, compliance certificates. Keep you updated on progress.
Step 4: Final Check & Handover
Walk through the finished property with you. Make sure everything's done to standard and you're happy. Property's ready to let.
🔧 DIY Tips
Managing your own property turnaround? Here's how to do it efficiently:
🔧 Planning the turnaround
- Assess everything in one visit - don't keep "discovering" new problems
- List all work needed, prioritise must-do versus nice-to-have
- Schedule trades logically (repairs before painting before cleaning)
- Build in buffer time - things always take longer than expected
📋 The efficient sequence
- Remove any rubbish or unwanted items first
- Do structural/repair work
- Any plastering or filling
- Decorating (walls, ceilings, woodwork)
- Deep clean including carpets
- Safety checks and compliance certificates
- Final walk-through and snagging
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Starting cleaning before repairs done (gets dirty again)
- Not getting multiple quotes (overpay or get poor quality)
- Trying to do too much yourself (takes ages, often lower quality)
- Underestimating time needed (new tenants arrive, property not ready)
💡 Pro trick: Keep a "property file" for each rental with photos from every turnaround, receipts for work done, and notes on what needs attention next time. Makes future turnarounds much faster to plan.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Regular portfolio? If you've got multiple rental properties, I can manage turnarounds as an ongoing service. You let me know when tenants are leaving, I handle the rest. Regular work means better availability and pricing.
Deposit disputes? Take detailed photos during my assessment. Useful evidence if tenants dispute deposit deductions for damage.
Betterment work? Some landlords use turnarounds to upgrade properties - new kitchen, bathroom refresh, redecoration. I can quote for improvement work alongside essential repairs.
Budget constraints? I'll prioritise what's essential versus nice-to-have. Sometimes you need to get it let-ready on minimum spend - I get it, and I'll be honest about what can wait.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in end of tenancy prep?
Whatever your property needs to be let-ready again - deep clean, painting, minor repairs, garden tidy, carpet cleaning, safety checks, new locks if needed. I assess what's needed, coordinate all the trades and services, and deliver the property back to you ready for viewings or new tenants.
How long does a full property turnaround take?
Depends what needs doing. A clean property needing just a deep clean and minor touch-ups might be 2-3 days. Something needing decorating, repairs, and proper cleaning could be 1-2 weeks. I'll give you a realistic timeline after seeing what's needed.
Do you coordinate all the different trades needed?
Yes - that's the whole point. You make one call to me, I assess what needs doing, coordinate cleaners, painters, electricians, plumbers, gardeners, whatever's needed. You get updates and one invoice at the end. Much easier than juggling five different contractors yourself.
Can you work to a deadline if I've got new tenants moving in?
I'll always be honest about what's realistic. If you've got new tenants moving in two weeks and the property needs serious work, I'll tell you straight away whether it's achievable. Where possible I'll prioritise to hit your deadline, but I won't cut corners that'll cause problems later.
What if I don't know what work is needed yet?
I'll come and assess the property after the tenants leave. Take photos, make a list of everything needed, and give you a detailed quote. Then you decide what to do and what budget you want to spend. Some landlords do everything, others just the essentials - your call.
