For no 2. Depends how much carpet there is to clean. I've used a rug doctor before and it really works, £20 for 24 hour rental from Tesco or somewhere is easily worth it IMO.

I've just been quoted £425 by a professional cleaner to deep clean my house, including a proper carpet clean. Is that quote about right? Seems like a lot....
Yeah that's a lot of money. Unless your house is 2,500 sq foot and all carpeted I'd look elsewhere.
If the place is in a decent state you could ask your tenant just to leave it in a similar state when they leave. By having it spotless, they will need to leave it spotless, and they may be less inclined to fork out for it.

2) are those rug doctor things you can hire any good? I get the impression most of the cost of that quote is the carpet cleaning, most other cleaners seem to quote a max of £18ph and I can't imagine it'll take all that long to clean a fairly small house. I'm hoping that if I can clean the carpet to a decent standard myself I can just pay someone to do the rest of the cleaning.
For context I've moved out but will be renting the house to a friend and I'd like it to be nice and clean when he moves in.
