The Deposit Protection Scheme confirms more than half of deposit disputes (56%) are the result of insufficient cleaning. This makes it the most common cause for deposit disputes, while inflicted damage comes second at 43% and redecoration third at 30%.
Notwithstanding the statistics, tenancy disputes as a result of insufficient cleaning are the easiest to mitigate if Sparkplus is contacted to perform your end of tenancy cleaning session before the final inspection.
At Sparkplus, we believe moving out of a house should be stress free and not expensive that is why we offer flexible package tailored to meet your requirement from deep cleaning of the house inclusive of all electrical appliances, light cleaning, carpeting cleaning to oven, hob and extractor cleaning.
We are proud to say we work closely with numerous estate agents, private landlords, tenants and property developer due to our affordability, professionalism and expertise in end of tenancy cleaning.
We are happy to collect and return the key and also help with the inventory checklist.
The inventory reports are the most important pieces of evidence for resolving a dispute. You want your end of tenancy cleaning done right before the move out inventory, as to record the property in the cleanest state. The two inventory checks – when you move in and out – will benchmark the condition of the property. This is the most reliable evidence for how tenants have affected the property’s condition during their occupation. The only way to make sure the deposit is returned in full is if the two inventories are identical, or the latter one is better.
