Preparing for Your Final Inspection
Your Queensland moving-out guide
Moving home comes with plenty to organise. Use this practical checklist to plan your clean, gather your paperwork and feel more prepared for handover.
One booking. One point of contact. A smoother handover. NBCC coordinates your agreed cleaning services across North Brisbane and Moreton Bay, saving you time managing separate providers. Carpet cleaning and flea treatments are optional extras, separately listed in your transparent quote.
Start with your entry condition report
Find your Entry Condition Report, move-in photos and any property-manager instructions before deciding what needs attention. The RTA explains that the property condition at the end of a tenancy is compared with its condition at the start, allowing for fair wear and tear.
Share the report and any cleaning checklist with us when requesting a quote. It helps us discuss the property and the work you need.
Your move-out preparation checklist
Plan the handover: confirm your vacating date, key-return arrangements and final inspection process with your property manager.
Organise your paperwork: keep the tenancy agreement, entry report, photos and relevant correspondence together.
Move your belongings first: where possible, arrange cleaning after furniture and possessions are removed. Tell us if the property will remain furnished.
Check all areas: include cupboards, wardrobes, balconies, the garage and outdoor areas when planning your move.
Discuss extras early: let us know if you need carpet cleaning or flea treatment so they can be included in your quote where required.
Coordinate access and utilities: if booking NBCC, confirm key access and keep power and water available for the agreed cleaning appointment.
Leave time for handover: agree a cleaning date that gives you time to check the property and complete your paperwork.
Preparing for your bond clean
Before our team attends, remove personal belongings and rubbish unless another arrangement has been agreed. Tell us about parking, lift bookings, access restrictions and any areas that need special attention.
Confirm the quoted scope, including any furnished areas, appliances, carpets, blinds, garage or balcony work. Carpet cleaning and flea treatments are optional services and should be specifically included in your quote if needed.
