Changeover Cleaning and Property Inspection Checklist

About this document

What it’s for

Every guest should arrive to a clean, safe and well-stocked property. A standard changeover checklist keeps quality consistent, makes sure safety checks are done each time, and gives you evidence for deposit deductions and insurance claims.

When to use it

  • At every changeover, by the cleaner or housekeeper
  • When training new cleaners
  • When investigating complaints about cleanliness or damage

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

A complete, ready-to-use document with every section written, your details shown in [square brackets], and guidance notes explaining how to complete it.

How to complete it

  • Adapt the rooms and items to your property
  • Ask cleaners to complete and sign it at every changeover, with photos of any damage
  • Review the damage report before returning the security deposit

Key points to check

  • Photos should be date-stamped and taken before cleaning begins
  • Report any safety issues (alarms, gas, electrics) to the owner immediately

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
