How clean do you leave the sold house?

If it states in the contract that all holes need to be filled from where you remove pics or shelves etc then you will need to do this. I cerntainly wouldnt pay to have the carpets professionally cleaned though.

I would get the carpets cleaned, for the sake of spending £35 on getting the carpets cleaned it would be the difference between the new people slagging me off to all my old neighbours or being nice about me

What contract would that be? Sorry don't understand.

We are selling our S/O and we have to fill any holes left from removing shelfs, pictures etc...
We can leave the nail in but if it comes out and damages the wall we must make good.
I just had to repaint a wall in my sons room as he had peelable stickers on it which left a glue mark, I asked the agent and she said really I had to paint it.
My house is spotless anyway so it will be when we leave.
Carpets, sink, worktops, top of kitchen units, extractor fan, hoover nozzle up the boiler, blinds, bathroom...
I wont be cleaning carpets just a good going over with the dyson.
No chocs / wine / flowers though - our buyer wanted us to knock the price by 5k just before exchanging contracts.
We didn't agree but even so - I am not leaving that!

My sister in law bought a place where the oven was so filthy they ended up with takeaways the night they moved in, and when the oven cleaning bloke came to clean the oven, by the time he'd finished there wasn't much metal left! They never used the oven, it put them off completely. The carpets were so full of cat fur their son's girlfriend who was living with them had an asthma attack.

A few weeks after they moved in they had problems with blocked drains. Dynorod discovered huge great lumps of congealed fat they'd been throwing chipfat down the sink for years.

Yuck, dirty people.

this could've been written about the house we just bought!! the lovely sweet old man ( or so we thought) whose house we bought was probably related to mr trebus who was featured on the life of grime (now he was a dirty beggar!!) we were wiping down paintwork last night ready to gross this weekend but no chance it needs sanding back its all thick with black dog hairs thats been painted over and still showing through!!!EEEEWWWW!!!!!

I made sure the bathroom and kitchen were spotless, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and cooker were all thoroughly cleaned. Carpets were hoovered as house emptied but had to say sod the windows, that was a step too far in the depths of winter. Garden was maintained too.

Me and my fiance moved into our first home nearly 2 months ago and I had planned on spending the first day or two cleaning. The couple we bought it from met us at the house to give us the keys and took us round to show how to work everything etc and the place was SPOTLESS! Freezer defrosted, oven cleaned, inside of cupboards cleaned, manuals for everything, oil in tank, bulbs/blinds/curtains left behind. Can't praise them enough and very glad I brought them a bunch of flowers!

I've just moved and it wasn't left like I left my old house. There's nothing worse than spending your first day when you should be unpacking, cleaning out kitchen cupboards and scubbing the floor.

I would leave it like you wish (hope) to find your new house
