Pre-sale exterior cleaning in SydneyProperty presentation for sale and lease

Everything a buyer sees from the street and the backyard. With us that usually means a garden clean-up, hedges and shrubs cut back, fresh mulch, the lawn mown and edged, a low-pressure house wash, exterior windows, and the driveway and paths pressure cleaned. Gutters can go on the same visit. The quote lists exactly what is included, so you pick what the house needs. It does not cover cleaning inside the house.

No. We do the outside only: the garden, the walls, the windows from outside, and the hard surfaces. For the inside, book an interior or bond cleaner, ideally for after we finish so nothing is walked back through the house. Many sellers book us for the outside and their agent's usual cleaner for the inside, on the same week.

Work from the garden down to the driveway. Clear and weed the beds, cut back hedges and anything over the paths, and mulch. Then wash the house, clean the windows, and pressure clean the driveway and paths last so the runoff goes with it. Fix small things a buyer notices, like a broken gutter or a dead plant by the front door. Our exterior house cleaning guide covers each surface.

Get in touch three to four weeks out if you can. Heavy pruning is best done two to three weeks before the photos so shrubs can soften, and the house wash, windows, driveway and mowing are best done in the week before, so everything is at its brightest in the shots. If your date is closer than that, tell us the date when you ask for a quote and we will tell you straight whether it can be done.

For most homes, yes. Buyers judge a house from the listing photos and the walk up from the street, and a neglected garden or a stained driveway makes the whole house look less cared for. A clean-up and wash costs far less than repairs or renovation, and it changes the first impression more than almost anything else you can do in a few weeks. Your agent can tell you what buyers in your street expect.

Pre-sale jobs are priced one by one, because the list of work, the size of the house and garden, how overgrown it is, the green waste and the access all change the time on site. We aim to stay competitive with other Hills District crews, and the exact price is locked in before we start. Send a few photos and your suburb through our free quote form and we will come back with a fixed price.

It depends on the lease. In NSW, tenants usually have to hand the property back in the same condition as the ingoing condition report, apart from fair wear and tear, and many leases name lawns and gardens. Owners and property managers usually handle larger jobs like tree work and hedges. Check the lease and NSW Fair Trading for your situation. Either way, we can tidy the garden before the outgoing or ingoing inspection.

It can. Pool fences need a clear zone around the outside, kept free of anything a child could use to climb, and a hedge or shrub growing into it can fail a compliance check. We are not pool certifiers, so the certifier or council decides whether a pool passes. If you know what has to move, we can cut plants and branches back out of the zone and tidy the garden, like the North Kellyville rental on our hedge trimming page.
