Moving out at the end of a tenancy
A tenancy move has a hard deadline: the day the keys go back. The van is the easy part. The deposit depends on leaving the property as the check-in inventory describes.
Work back from the key date
Agree the checkout time with the landlord or agent, then book the move to finish before it. Allow time to clean after the van has left, and a margin in case a late arrival would otherwise cost you.
Match the inventory
Find your check-in inventory and compare it to the property room by room. Photograph the condition with dates. Repair marks you caused before you leave.
- Check-in inventory to hand
- Photographs of each room
- Meter readings recorded
Take what is yours only
Leave anything that belongs to the property, and do not assume furniture shown in photos is yours. Keep receipts for items you bought.
Choose the right van
Share a full list so the vehicle and the trips match the load. See our van size guide for how to think about it.
Frequently asked questions
Can the van arrive early to load?
Possibly. Ask when you request the quote and confirm any time window.
Who cleans the property?
That is for you or a separate cleaner. Cleaning is not part of what is described here.
