A new gardening service to add value and reduce transaction time for properties for sale or rent has been launched by Alexanders Horticultural Services.

Research carried out by the company, which specialises in garden and estate management, shows that a well tended garden can make a substantial difference to the sale or rental price of a property.

It can also speed up the transaction, making the property more attractive and therefore more saleable or rentable more quickly.

Maximise returns

Alex Broomer, owner of Alexanders Horticultural Services, says the new service enables Estate Agents, Letting Agents and Landlords to maximise their returns.

He states: “Our research with agents has made it clear that a property with an unkempt and overgrown garden will require a lower price and take longer to shift than that same property with well maintained grounds.

“There is also the problem that an untended garden tends to alert people to the possibility that the property is not occupied – attracting criminal activity, vandalism or even squatters.

“Our new service for estate agents, letting agents and landlords enables us to smarten up a property for sale and provide valuable on-going care while it is on the market.

“And for rental properties we can provide a full garden maintenance service, again ahead of the house going onto the market and also while it is being rented, as part of the rental contract if required.”

Referral fees

In addition agents can earn referral fees on contracts set up with their clients*.

Says Alex: “We believe that in the current market agents and landlords will welcome a professional service which not only adds value, saleability and transaction speed for their clients’ properties, but also sets them apart from their competitors and earns them a valuable additional income stream.”
