Rental property garden maintenance in Oxted

Oxted rental gardens kept ready for the next tenant, buyer or viewing, with photos when we finish.

Rental property garden maintenance in Oxted often involves bigger gardens than landlords bargained for. Detached houses were the most common home in the parish at the 2011 census, and a family-sized garden left to a busy tenant for one summer gets away quickly. We keep rentals tidy while they’re let and put them right when tenants move on.

End-of-tenancy tidy-ups, regular visits through a let, and shared gardens at flats and converted houses all come under one call. We send photos of the finished garden for your records, and every bit of waste goes with us. Letting agents can book us directly, and we’ll invoice whoever holds the instruction.

End of tenancy gardening in Oxted

Tenancy agreements often hand the garden to the tenant. That doesn’t always mean it gets done. On sandy ground in the centre of town, a neglected lawn browns and thins, and borders fill with weeds that seed into every gap. In Hurst Green the clay makes overgrown hedges and brambles the bigger problem. Either way, we’ll cut, clear, edge and weed so the garden doesn’t hold up the next let, and the photos go to you or your agent for the check-in file.

Rental property garden maintenance during a let

A regular visit while the property is let usually costs less than a big clear-up at the end. Monthly through the growing season suits most rental gardens here, fortnightly for the larger ones. Landlord garden maintenance also gives you someone looking at the property regularly, so if a fence panel has blown or a gutter is spilling onto the lawn, we’ll tell you. For developers, we’ll keep show homes and finished plots mown and edged for viewings, and carry on with shared areas once a management company takes over.

Landlords and developers in Oxted: your questions

Anything else, just ring. You’ll speak to the people who do the work.

Are tenants responsible for garden maintenance?

Usually for day-to-day upkeep, if the tenancy agreement says so. Bigger jobs like hedge reductions tend to fall to the landlord. Some landlords build a regular gardening visit into the rent so there’s never an argument about it.

Can you look after several rental properties?

Yes. Put them on one schedule and one invoice, and you or your agent only have one number to ring.

How quickly can you turn round an end-of-tenancy garden?

Most can be fitted in within a week, and often sooner. Ring with the address and the check-out date and we’ll give you a day.

What do the photos show?

The finished garden: lawn, beds, boundaries and any problem areas, taken when we’ve packed up. They’re handy for the inventory and for settling any deposit questions.
