The Changeover Checklist.

You've done the work. Now let it show. Fill in the checklist after each changeover and your owner gets a professional room-by-room report with a link to see exactly what was done, and where, and when.

There's something satisfying about handing over a truly clean property. But a handshake and a quick text never quite captures it, does it? With the Shipshape checklist, you can walk through every room, tick every item, add your notes, and send your owner a proper report before the next guests even step out of the car. It's professional, it's thorough, and it takes about five minutes. No account to create, nothing to sign up for. You just fill it in and send.

What the checklist covers

Three sections, covering the full cycle of a holiday let on the Moray coast. Open the section that matches your clean, tick what you've done, mark anything not applicable, leave a note where it's useful, and the report handles the rest.

Season Opening gets your property ready after winter. Regular Changeover keeps it guest-ready between bookings. Season Closure wraps it up safely when the season ends.

What is a changeover checklist?

It's the record that turns a good clean into a professional one. Room by room, task by task, you work through the property, tick off what's done, and note anything worth flagging. When you're finished, you've got a proper account of the clean, and so does your owner. Shipshape's checklist covers the full seasonal cycle. Season Opening gets the property ready after winter. Regular Changeover keeps every booking starting right. Season Closure locks things up properly before the dark months. Fill it in, hit send, and your owner has a room-by-room report before the next guests are even on the road.

Why a good report gets you rehired

Property owners on the Moray coast are always watching. A quick text saying "all done!" is fine. A room-by-room report, sent the moment you walk out the door, is something they remember. It says you take the work seriously. It says you've got nothing to hide. And when the next booking comes in and they're looking for someone they can count on, they'll call the person who sent the report. Every single time.
