Testimonials
What our clients say after working with us.
Real feedback from property managers and business owners who rely on The Lease Cleaners.
“Quoted room by room over the phone, and the invoice matched exactly. No surprise line items, which is more than I can say for the last mob I used.”

·Google Review“Double-storey with a lot of stair edges and upstairs window tracks. They got to all of it. Photos afterwards were useful when the agent queried a mark that was there when we moved in.”

A local move-out clean for Northcote rentals
When a Northcote rental is ready to hand back, the useful question is not whether it looks generally tidy. It is whether the rooms, fixtures, cupboards, tracks and floors match the inspection scope agreed before the clean.
A Northcote rental handover can involve period terraces, cottages and infill townhouses, from compact rentals through to larger family layouts, so bedrooms and bathrooms are only part of the quote. Original floorboards, deep skirting boards, picture rails and sash window tracks also affects how much time the team needs on site.
Northcote sits in our inner melbourne service area, with nearby move-out cleaning support around Fairfield, Thornbury and Clifton Hill. That helps us plan realistic travel, access and key-return timing when inspection dates move.
Before we confirm a Northcote move-out clean, we ask about end-of-month key returns, likely inspection issues such as skirting dust, and practical notes like photos of any pre-existing marks. Sharing those details early helps keep keys, access and final-inspection timing realistic.
A Northcote move-out quote is checked against your property notes, photos and access details. That helps us ask the right questions about parking, internal glass, storage areas, garages and any add-ons before the booking is accepted.
If the Northcote agent has already mentioned oven grease, bathroom screens, pet hair, carpet cleaning or exterior glass, send those notes with the quote request. They can change the time on site and whether an add-on is needed.
Northcote bond-back support, without vague promises
The guarantee is tied to the agreed cleaning scope. If a Northcote agent reports an eligible missed cleaning item within 72 hours, we check it against the quote and arrange one return visit where access can be provided.
The guarantee does not cover permanent stains, damaged surfaces, worn finishes, unpaid rent, rubbish removal, pest treatment, mould inside silicone, or work that was excluded from your quote. This is why we list carpet steam cleaning, exterior windows, balconies, garages and key pickup separately before you book.
Northcote move-out cleaning checklist areas
Kitchen
The kitchen scope covers the oven, rangehood, stovetop, splashback, sink, tapware, benches, appliance fronts and empty storage. For Northcote, mention heavy grease or extra appliances before the quote is finalised.
Bathrooms
Bathroom cleaning focuses on the visible inspection items: screen marks, soap build-up, basins, toilets, mirrors, vanity storage and floor edges.
Bedrooms and living areas
For period terraces, cottages and infill townhouses, from compact rentals through to larger family layouts, living areas are scoped around actual rooms rather than a flat package. Second lounges, studies and rumpus rooms should be listed before booking.
Floors and windows
Carpets are vacuumed and hard floors are swept and mopped. Internal windows, sills and tracks are included where accessible; carpet steam cleaning and exterior windows are quoted as add-ons.
Laundry and extras
Add-ons are kept separate so there is no confusion on cleaning day. Garages, balconies, courtyards, flea treatment and key movement need to be confirmed before the job is accepted.
How Northcote move-out cleaning is priced
For Northcote, From $299 + GST is the published starting point. The confirmed figure depends on bathrooms, storeys, condition, access and whether extras such as carpet steam cleaning are needed.
| Property | Move out cleaning, 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 extra bathroom adds $30, while carpet steam cleaning, exterior windows, balconies, garages and key movement are quoted separately.
Planning access for your Northcote move-out clean
The access plan matters as much as the checklist. For Northcote, tell us about keys, parking, shared entries, garages, balconies and any exterior glass you want included.
Book after furniture removal, with power and water still connected. Keep your entry condition report handy, point out pre-existing damage and leave enough time between the clean and final inspection for a walkthrough.
For nearby moves around Fairfield, Thornbury and Clifton Hill, the same quote process applies: send room counts, condition notes and your key-return date through the quote form, then we confirm the scope in writing.

Talk to the teamWhat is included in move-out cleaning in Northcote?
We cover the empty interior areas an inspection usually checks: kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, wardrobes, cupboards, floors, internal glass, tracks, doors, handles, switches and skirting boards.
How should I prepare my Northcote rental?
Send photos or notes about condition, clear rubbish, empty storage and confirm key access. That helps the team quote Northcote accurately and avoid scope changes on the day.
Does the Northcote property need to be empty first?
For best results, clean once the movers are finished and before power or water are disconnected. Empty rooms make the Northcote inspection scope much clearer.
Will you return if my Northcote agent flags a cleaning issue?
Yes. Eligible in-scope cleaning issues reported within 72 hours can receive one complimentary re-clean where access is available. It does not cover damage, wear and tear, permanent stains or items excluded from your Northcote quote.
How much notice do you need for Northcote?
Same-week availability depends on the inspection date and property size. Month-end books out first, so it is better to request the Northcote quote as soon as the move date is known.
What is the starting price for a Northcote move-out clean?
From $299 + GST is the starting guide for a standard one-bedroom, one-bathroom move-out clean in Northcote. The final quote depends on bedrooms, bathrooms, condition, access and add-ons such as carpet steam cleaning or exterior windows.
