Moving soon? Send us the property details.

Property size, current condition, required areas and the handover date help us understand the cleaning scope before confirming the quotation.

Some properties may require further clarification or inspection before the final scope is confirmed.

What to send

  • Apartment or villa
  • Number of bedrooms
  • Approximate size if known
  • Dubai location
  • Move-out / handover date
  • Occupied or vacant
  • Property condition
  • Areas requiring special attention
  • Photos or short video

Before Handover

The final clean should be organised around the property, not treated like routine housekeeping.

Move-out cleaning is different from a normal recurring clean. The property may be vacant, heavily used, partly packed or being prepared for a landlord, property manager or new occupant. The required scope should therefore be defined around the actual condition of the home.

Our move-out cleaning services in Dubai also cover move in move out cleaning and end of tenancy cleaning for apartments and villas, scheduled around your handover date.

  • Owner preparing a property for handover
  • Landlord preparing a vacant property
  • Property manager preparing for a new tenant
  • Apartment or villa changing occupants
  • Cleaning after painting

The Cleaning Scope

A detailed clean before the property changes hands.

Floors & General Surfaces
Detailed cleaning of accessible floors and surfaces included in the agreed scope.
Kitchen
Accessible kitchen surfaces, counters, sinks, cabinet areas where agreed and exterior appliance surfaces.
Bathrooms
Detailed cleaning of sanitary fixtures, surfaces and accessible areas.
Doors, Frames & Skirting
Cleaning of accessible doors, frames, skirting and related detail areas where included.
Interior Glass
Accessible interior glass and window-related cleaning where safely possible and agreed.
Balconies
Balcony cleaning where included in the quotation and access conditions allow.
Fixtures & Details
Accessible switches, handles, fittings and other defined detail areas.

The final checklist depends on the property, condition and agreed quotation.

Why Move-Out Cleaning Is Different

This is a property reset, not a routine visit.

Routine housekeeping is intended to maintain a home regularly. Move-out cleaning is typically more detailed and is organised around a property that is changing occupants or being prepared for handover.

  • Broader scope
  • Vacant or partly vacant property
  • More detailed attention
  • Handover deadline
  • Possible painting coordination
  • Property-specific checklist

Why North

When the handover date matters, the process needs to be clear.

North Property Care defines the cleaning scope, organises the team, manages execution and checks the agreed areas before completion. One company remains accountable throughout the job.

03
Supervised Execution
The cleaning is managed rather than simply assigned.
04
Property Respect
The home and remaining belongings are treated with care.
05
Final Inspection
The agreed scope is checked before completion.
06
One Accountable Company
One point of responsibility from quotation through handover.

Apartments

Preparing an apartment before the keys go back.

Move-out cleaning for an apartment can range from a detailed clean of a vacant unit to a broader scope involving kitchens, bathrooms, balconies, interior glass and other agreed areas.

Studios, one-bedroom apartments and multi-bedroom homes can all be quoted, whether the apartment is already vacant or still partly occupied while handover preparation is underway.

Villas

Larger homes require more planning.

Villa move-out cleaning may involve larger floor areas, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, stairs, balconies and other spaces. The required team and scope should be organised around the actual property rather than treated like a standard cleaning booking.

Paint + Clean

Does the property also need painting?

If walls need repainting before move-out or handover, North Property Care can coordinate painting and deep cleaning through one company and one agreed sequence of work.

  1. Paint
  2. Deep Clean
  3. Prepare for Handover

Broader interior work can also be quoted through our painting services in Dubai.

Cleaning should normally follow the painting sequence.

Where painting and deep cleaning are booked together, the order of work should be coordinated so the final cleaning can take place after the agreed painting scope is complete.

Your Handover Date

Tell us the deadline when requesting the quote.

Move-out cleaning is often time-sensitive. Provide the planned handover or move-out date so availability and the required sequence of work can be considered before the booking is confirmed.

Scheduling depends on property size, condition, required scope and current availability.

Quoting

What determines a move-out cleaning quote?

Property size
Studio, apartment, townhouse or villa.
Number of rooms
Bedrooms, bathrooms and other spaces affect the work required.
Current condition
A lightly used property differs from a unit requiring substantial detailed cleaning.
Occupied or vacant
Furniture, belongings and access affect execution.
Required areas
Full-property and selected-area cleaning are different scopes.
Additional requirements
Balconies, interior glass, cabinets, appliances or other items may need explicit inclusion.
Deadline
The requested handover date can affect scheduling.

Specific items should be agreed before the booking.

If you require cleaning inside cabinets, inside appliances, specific glass areas, balconies or other detailed items, include them when requesting the quote so they can be considered in the agreed scope.

Products and equipment are confirmed with the service scope.

The required cleaning products, equipment and responsibilities are confirmed as part of the quotation. Specific product requirements can be discussed before the booking where necessary.

Still packing?

Move-out cleaning may be possible while some belongings remain in the property, depending on access and the agreed areas. For the most detailed cleaning, a vacant or substantially cleared property may make more surfaces accessible.

The North Standard

  1. Define
  2. Protect
  3. Execute
  4. Inspect
  5. Handover

The deadline may matter, but the process still begins with a defined scope and ends with an inspection of the agreed cleaning work.
