£370 seems ok these days. I paid £450 a few months back for 900 sqft.

I think market rate was around 220 for 2b2b about 1-2 years ago. Try Happy House cleaning. My landlord was really happy with them (and asked for their contacts). I also used Miss Maid, pretty happy with them until they wore outside shoes whilst doing the final mop of the house.

Clean it yourself. Takes half a day but saves a lot of money. Landlords cannot force you to go with a professional cleaner, so long as it’s clean to a professional standard (which, from experience, just means clean enough that the next tenant wouldn’t complain)

Would definitely do this to save £400 then do something else with the cash.

But basically I’m in the wrong job. Hire some staff on minimum wage, purchase material then set up as a move out cleaners.

Yeah deep cleans are pretty expensive. For reference my 1300 sqft house was £550, 3 years ago

We’re paying £400 for a 2b/2b 750sqft flat soon, although it’s the buildings recommended cleaners they use themselves, so expect it’s a bit more expensive due to that.

This is about right, 2 cleaners probably doing about 5 hours work.

1) The contract doesn’t mention a notice period in the probation period. What’s a good way to ask? 2) If I manage to secure another offer between contract signing and start date, would this involve any financial liabilities?
