Agree what happens if the property is worse than described. Voids are quoted from a description far more often than from a visit, the difference between the two is usually clearance, and a contractor with an agreed rate for any extra will carry on with the work rather than stopping to renegotiate on the day the relet was booked for.
What moves the price
- Size of the property, counted in bedrooms and bathrooms.
- What was left behind, which is clearance and is rarely known in advance.
- Whether power and water are on, since neither can be assumed.
- Condition. A property left clean and one left after an eviction are different jobs.
- How fast the relet date is, and whether that means weekend working.
- Carpets, ovens and appliances, which are often priced as separate lines.

Questions about void property cleaning
Is clearance included?
Normally priced separately, because nobody can see what is inside before the visit. Expect it as a separate line with a waste transfer note attached.
How fast can it be done?
Most two-bedroom voids are a day, sometimes two where there is clearance first. The relet date is what the work is arranged around rather than the other way about.
