Book end of lease, vacate, move-out or bond cleaning in Southbank. We scope the job around high-rise apartments, units and a handful of terraces, with quotes shaped by room counts and access, access, condition and your key-return deadline.
Real feedback from property managers and business owners who rely on The Lease Cleaners.
“We use them for turnovers across a small portfolio and the quality is consistent. Only reason it isn't five stars is that availability gets tight at the end of the month — worth booking further ahead than you think you need to.”

The Lease Cleaners prepares empty Southbank rentals for final inspection, with the job scoped around the rooms, condition, access and handover deadline you provide before booking.
Southbank is in the Melbourne service area. The local rental mix includes high-rise apartments, units and a handful of terraces, with quotes shaped by room counts and access, so we ask about layout and condition rather than assuming every home needs the same time.
Southbank is part of our Melbourne service area, with nearby coverage across South Wharf, South Melbourne and Melbourne.
We give the most attention to balcony glass, kitchen splashbacks in compact galley kitchens, and the inside of built-in wardrobes, because those are the items most likely to be noticed during handover.
It suits three groups. Tenants book it to reduce cleaning disputes before key return. Landlords use it between tenancies so the next applicant sees a property that is ready to inspect. Property managers use it for turnovers because the agreed scope is written down before the clean starts.
Because Southbank sits close to South Wharf, South Melbourne and Melbourne, access timing and key pickup can often be planned around nearby jobs when the schedule allows.
Every Southbank end-of-lease clean starts with the empty interior and the written scope accepted before booking. Carpet steam cleaning, exterior windows, balconies, garages and key movement are listed separately so the price stays clear.
Kitchen detail is usually inspection-critical: oven interior, rangehood, stovetop, benches, splashback, sink and empty cupboards. We price extra appliances separately so the Southbank scope is clear.
Bathrooms are scrubbed and sanitised, including shower screens, mineral build-up, toilets, basins, mirrors and tapware. For high-rise apartments, units and a handful of terraces, with quotes shaped by room counts and access, bathroom count is usually a stronger price driver than floor area.
Wardrobes, cupboards, doors, handles, switches, skirting boards and accessible surfaces are cleaned once belongings are removed. Carpeted bedrooms are vacuumed, with steam cleaning quoted per room if needed.
Accessible fittings, cornices, skirting boards, doors, handles, storage areas and hard surfaces are dusted and wiped. We give the most attention to balcony glass, kitchen splashbacks in compact galley kitchens, and the inside of built-in wardrobes, because those are the items most likely to be noticed during handover.
All carpeted areas are vacuumed and hard floors are swept and mopped. Carpet steam cleaning is an add-on at $40 per room and should be booked with enough drying time before inspection.
Window interiors, sills and tracks are included where accessible, along with one set of glass doors inside and out. Exterior windows are quoted separately at $20 where access is practical.
Laundry benches, sink, tapware, cabinet interiors, cabinet exteriors and floors are included. Garage sweep, balcony cleaning, flea treatment and key pickup/drop-off can be added before the booking is accepted.
Cleaning cannot repair a damaged surface. Permanent stains, worn finishes and pre-existing damage sit outside the clean and outside the re-clean cover, so point them out before the quote is finalised.
For Southbank, the published starting point is $299 + GST for a standard one-bedroom, one-bathroom clean. Larger homes are priced by bedrooms and bathrooms rather than a suburb average.
| Property | End of lease, from |
|---|---|
| 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom | $299 |
| 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom | $399 |
| 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | $429 |
| 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | $529 |
| 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | $579 |
| 5+ bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | $679 |
Prices exclude GST and assume standard property condition. Each additional bathroom adds $30, and bond cleaning starts $20 lower than end-of-lease at every size.
If you are comparing prices around South Wharf and South Melbourne, make sure the scope is comparable. A cheap quote that excludes ovens, tracks or bathroom detail can become expensive after the agent report arrives.
Send your room counts, condition notes and key-return date through the quote form for a fixed figure before you book.
Use this checklist against your entry condition report before the keys go back. The team works from the agreed written scope, with extra attention to balcony glass, kitchen splashbacks in compact galley kitchens, and the inside of built-in wardrobes where the property calls for it.
For Southbank homes near South Wharf, South Melbourne and Melbourne, flag garages, balconies, steep access, shared driveways or exterior glass before booking so the quote says exactly what is included.

Written scope before booking. Tenants, landlords and property managers get the agreed inclusions in writing, including what is excluded or priced separately.
Clear limits on cleaning. Worn finishes, permanent staining and pre-existing damage are identified separately so you are not paying for a result cleaning cannot deliver.
72-hour re-clean support. Eligible, in-scope cleaning issues reported with evidence and access can receive one complimentary re-clean visit under the guarantee terms.
Quoted on your room counts. Bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas and add-ons shape the price, which is more useful than applying a generic Southbank average.
Property-specific expectations. Southbank rentals run to high-rise apartments, units and a handful of terraces, with quotes shaped by room counts and access, so the schedule follows the rooms and surfaces the property actually contains.
Local handover planning. Southbank sits in Melbourne, with nearby coverage around South Wharf and South Melbourne, so access and timing are discussed before the day.
Most buildings here require a lift booking and a loading-zone permit, and both take a few days to arrange. If the agent is handling keys, share the office details and any pickup or drop-off timing before we confirm the booking.
Book the clean once the furniture is out, with water and power still connected. Keep your entry condition report to hand, point out existing damage, and leave time for a walkthrough before the keys go back.
For handovers around South Wharf and South Melbourne, clear access notes help the team arrive with the right equipment and enough time.
Choose the service wording that matches your handover: end of lease, vacate, move-out or bond cleaning.
From $299 + GST. End-of-lease base rate for a standard one-bedroom, one-bathroom property. Each extra bathroom adds $30, and condition, storeys and add-ons are quoted on top. Bond cleaning starts $20 lower at every size.

Our bond-back cleaning cover
Report an in-scope end-of-lease cleaning issue within 72 hours, with evidence and access, for one complimentary re-clean. Conditions apply.
Our bond-back service addresses the cleaning work in your agreed scope. Bond decisions can also involve rent, damage and other tenancy matters, so a clean cannot guarantee the return of the entire bond.

Talk to the teamThe advertised guide starts at From $299 + GST for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom clean. Your Southbank quote is confirmed against your rooms, bathrooms, access and condition notes, because inner-city properties do not take the same time just because they are in the same area. We use Melbourne access notes and nearby timing around South Wharf and South Melbourne to keep the booking realistic. For local scheduling, we also note access around South Wharf, South Melbourne, Melbourne, Docklands and Albert Park.
You get one complimentary re-clean of eligible, in-scope cleaning issues reported within 72 hours, with evidence and access. It covers cleaning items in the written Southbank scope, not rent, damage, permanent staining or the return of your entire bond. Access for any follow-up is planned around Melbourne and nearby South Wharf and South Melbourne. That keeps the Melbourne handover practical if keys, parking or agent timing change around South Wharf, South Melbourne, Melbourne, Docklands and Albert Park.
The standard scope covers the empty property's kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, bedrooms, living areas, floors, internal windows, sills and tracks. In Southbank, we ask about balcony glass, kitchen splashbacks in compact galley kitchens, and the inside of built-in wardrobes early so the quote reflects what the final inspection is likely to check. That is especially useful for Southbank moves around South Wharf and South Melbourne. For local scheduling, we also note access around South Wharf, South Melbourne, Melbourne, Docklands and Albert Park.
Tell us the building name, whether a lift booking is needed and where the service entry is. Most inner-city buildings need the lift reserved a few days ahead, and a loading-zone permit if there is no dock. Also tell us the key collection plan and final inspection time, especially if the handover sits between Southbank, South Wharf and South Melbourne or the managing agent's office. It also helps when the move overlaps nearby South Wharf, South Melbourne, Melbourne, Docklands and Albert Park.
Carpet steam cleaning is available as an add-on, not part of the base end-of-lease rate. For Southbank homes near South Wharf and South Melbourne, allow drying time before the agent walkthrough rather than booking it immediately before inspection. That keeps the Melbourne handover practical if keys, parking or agent timing change around South Wharf, South Melbourne, Melbourne, Docklands and Albert Park.
Book once furniture is out and utilities are still connected. In Southbank, month-end and weekend handovers can fill quickly, so send the room count, access notes and key deadline as soon as they are known. Nearby work around South Wharf and South Melbourne is easier to schedule when the timing is clear. That keeps the Melbourne handover practical if keys, parking or agent timing change around South Wharf, South Melbourne, Melbourne, Docklands and Albert Park.
