Pre-sale clean-up. Make your property stand out for inspections.
Getting ready to sell or lease? A full outdoor tidy up before the photos and the first home open, so buyers see the place at its best.
What is pre-sale clean-up?
A pre-sale clean-up is a full outdoor tidy up before a property goes on the market or up for lease. The aim is simple: make the place look its best for the listing photos and the first home open.
The outside of a home is the first thing buyers see, online and in person. An overgrown lawn, weedy garden beds or a stained driveway can put people off before they reach the front door. A tidy, green, cared-for yard does the opposite.
How pre-sale clean-up is done
From the first look at your yard to leaving the place tidy, step by step.
- 1
Walk through the property
Look at the yard together and agree on what needs doing before the photos.
- 2
Lawns and gardens
Lawns are mown and edged, beds weeded and mulched, hedges and shrubs shaped.
- 3
Hard surfaces
Driveways, paths and patios can be jet washed, and gutters cleared.
- 4
Ready for the photos
The place is left clean and tidy, ready for the photographer and the first inspection.
The benefits of pre-sale clean-up
- Better listing photos
A green, tidy yard looks far better online, where most buyers look first.

Buyers walk up to a home that looks looked after.
- One call
Lawns, gardens, gutters and hard surfaces all sorted by the one person.
How far ahead should I book?
Before the listing photos are taken is ideal. Call Simon as soon as you have a date in mind.
Can you keep the yard tidy until it sells?
Yes. Regular visits can be booked to keep things looking good through the campaign.
Do you do end of lease clean-ups too?
Yes. The same service works when tenants move out or a rental is being re-listed.
