I've moved before without cleaning first and although the place was ok, it didn't feel fresh or like an exciting new place with the vendors removals leaving the place not too clean, unavoidably.
How do people co-ordinate everything when completing on the same day (selling and buying)? Does the removals co keep stuff in their lorries and then moves it all in after a day or two of cleaning in the new place? Doe it cost extra for removals to wait a few days with stuff in their lorry?
Or is it normal to pursuade vendors to leave a couple of days early so you can clean? (if they are going into rentals themselves)
Or do you move in furniture and boxes - and of course your own removals may make it a dirty again esp if raining outside - then clean around it all before unpacking, assuming there is a lot of stuff?
argh!

at what stage do you clean the new house if completion day is the day of the move?
