Hi Everyone,
I recently finished the tenancy at a property and as per the norm agreed to a checkout at the end before handing over the keys.
The checkout lady arrived on time.
Before starting she made a call to the landlord (as had been requested to her before by him) and
I overheard parts of the conversation. she said
" yes cleaning has been done professionally as per receipts but not by the cleaners as suggested from the estate agency".
Next she started her inventory check
eventually taking 5 hours to do the whole check.
She went over each point, one by one and went to the extent of running her hand over the backs of the pelmets/curtains to check for dust !!
All this time my wife and I had to hover around, because she seemed to sometimes note down things which were even already said to be defective/faulty.
Well due to her diligence, she made some additional 10 or so entries.
Is it normal for a checkout to last 5 hours for a 4 bedroom property???
