Vacating a flat, townhouse or house in Ivanhoe: what to plan for
Ivanhoe renters move out of every kind of home. At the ABS 2021 Census, Ivanhoe had 5,310 occupied private dwellings: 52.8% separate houses, 22.2% semi-detached, terrace or townhouses and 24.6% flats or apartments, and 32.6% of them were rented. Of the 1,729 rented homes, 742 were flats or apartments, 521 were semi-detached homes or townhouses and 458 were separate houses, and 1,353 were rented through a real estate agent.
Because the mix is so broad, the useful preparation differs from one home to the next. Here is what helps the clean go smoothly for each type.
Apartments and units
The same Census counted 155 occupied flats in blocks of nine or more storeys and 367 in blocks of four to eight storeys, alongside 698 in one- or two-storey blocks. In any building with shared areas, check your owners corporation or building manager rules before moving day:
- Book the lift and loading area for your removalist, and try to have furniture out before the clean starts.
- Tell us at booking about entry codes, fob access, intercoms and where a visitor can park.
- Leave power and water connected: the clean can’t go ahead without them.
- Window tracks are cleaned on the inside, so unlocking sliding doors and windows saves time.
Townhouses and semi-detached homes
If your townhouse has a garage, the standard clean includes sweeping it and removing cobwebs. Split-system air conditioners are wiped and their filters cleaned; ducted systems are not part of the package, so check your condition report if it mentions vents.
Separate houses
The package is an interior clean plus the garage sweep. Gardens, paving and outdoor areas sit outside it, so read your condition report for anything outside you’re responsible for and plan that separately. Inside, ceiling fans, range hood filters, the oven and every cupboard are on the checklist.

Ivanhoe tap water and shower screens: what Yarra Valley Water reports
Ivanhoe and Ivanhoe East (postcode 3079) sit in Yarra Valley Water’s Ivanhoe water sampling area. In its 2025–26 Drinking Water Quality Report, hardness samples in that area ranged from 16 to 18 mg/L, with a mean of 17 mg/L, against a guideline mean of no more than 200 mg/L. The report describes hardness as calcium and magnesium salts that can attach to surfaces, cause a hard, flaky scale and make it harder to get a lather from soap.
Whatever has built up on your glass and taps, the bathroom clean covers the shower or bath including tiles and screens, mirrors, and sinks and taps cleaned and dry-buffed. Mould removal is included, except ceiling mould. Heavy build-up adds time, and the booking form shows the estimated hours for your property.

End of Lease Cleaning Services Frequently Asked Questions
Is vacate cleaning in Ivanhoe the same as end of lease cleaning?
Yes. Vacate cleaning, bond cleaning and end of lease cleaning are names for the same service: a full clean of the property before you hand back the keys. The checklist covers every room, the kitchen and oven, bathrooms, laundry and a garage sweep. See what’s included in end of lease cleaning, then choose a preferred date in the booking form and the team confirms.
Does end of lease cleaning in Ivanhoe include tile and grout cleaning?
The bathroom clean includes the shower or bath with its tiles and screens, plus mould removal (ceiling mould is not included). It is a clean, not a restoration, so regrouting, sealing or repairing damaged grout is not part of it.
Do you do end of lease cleans for Ivanhoe apartments as well as houses?
Yes. Apartments, units, townhouses and houses all get the same end of lease checklist, and the price depends on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms and any extras you add. For apartments, tell us about building access, lift bookings and visitor parking when you book, and keep power and water connected for the clean.
How long does lease end cleaning take?
A 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom property starts from about 3 cleaning hours. Every home is different: larger homes, heavy build-up and extras such as carpet steam cleaning take longer. The booking form shows the estimated time and price for your property.
What if my agent spots something after the clean?
Let us know within 72 hours of your clean and we’ll come back and re-clean those areas free. Terms apply.
How much is end of lease cleaning in Ivanhoe?
End of lease cleaning starts from $249.40 for a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom property. Use the estimator on this page for a guide, then see your price for your address when you book online.
Can you clean before the final inspection in Ivanhoe?
Yes. An end of lease clean is the clean before your final inspection. Book it after your furniture is out and as close to the inspection as your moving plans allow.
Do I need a parking permit for the removal truck in Ivanhoe?
Banyule doesn’t publish a moving-day parking permit. Using the road, footpath or nature strip in a way that blocks others needs a road occupation permit. See moving day in Ivanhoe for skips and storage pods.

Before your final inspection
In Victoria, renters must leave the property reasonably clean, with fair wear and tear excepted, and the condition report from the start of the agreement is the reference. Since 29 March 2021 a rental provider can only require professional cleaning at the end of the tenancy if the property was professionally cleaned immediately before you moved in and you were told, or if it is needed to return the property to its condition at the start, allowing for fair wear and tear. Carpet steam cleaning can be added to your end of lease clean in the same booking: see carpet cleaning in Ivanhoe.
