Approved schemes: SafeDeposits Scotland, Letting Protection Service Scotland and mydeposits Scotland.
What the check-out inspection covers
| Area | What the agent checks | Typical deduction if not done |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen | Grease in the oven, trays, hob and extractor filters; fridge and freezer defrosted and empty; crumbs inside cupboards; limescale on the sink and taps | The most common item; usually charged at the cost of a professional oven or kitchen clean |
| Bathroom | Limescale on the shower, screen and taps; toilet inside and out; black mould on sealant; hair in drains; grout | Limescale and mould stand out in photos and often lead to a cleaning charge |
| Bedrooms & living room | Carpet stains and odours; dust and marks on skirting, door frames and switches; sills and inside windows; inside wardrobes and drawers | Carpet stains may be charged at carpet-cleaning cost; wall damage is a repair, not cleaning |
