Move-Out & Checkout Guides by City (UK)

Moving out is rarely one task — it’s a chain of decisions with deadlines, dependencies, and local rules.
Our move-out guides are practical, city-specific checklists designed to help you leave a property cleanly, on time, and with fewer checkout disputes.

Each guide explains what to do, in what order, and who controls what, based on local council processes and common housing patterns.


What these guides help you avoid

  • Missed steps that lead to deposit deductions

  • Last-week surprises around bins, bulky waste, or parking

  • Confusion over what must be done before cleaning and inspection

  • Poor evidence at checkout (photos, meter reads, keys)

These are operational guides — not blogs — built for the final days before you move.


Who these guides are for

  • Tenants preparing for checkout and inventory inspection

  • Landlords setting expectations before re-letting

  • Letting agents coordinating move-outs at scale

Each guide is written so any of the above can follow it without translation.


How the guides are organised

Guides are grouped by county, then by town or city.

  • Start with your county

  • Choose your town or city

  • Follow the local move-out sequence step by step

This structure reflects how local rules are actually applied in the UK and keeps guidance specific without guesswork.
