Services vary from estate to estate but generally include:
- Grass cutting
- Hedge maintenance
- Shrub maintenance
- Weed control
- Litter picking
- Woodland maintenance
If you have bought your house through the right-to-buy scheme, you are obliged through your title deeds to contribute to the cost of maintaining these areas. This obligation passes to each subsequent owner. You should note that each proprietor is responsible for the maintenance of all the landscaped areas in their estate irrespective of whether or not these are close to their own home.
We aim to keep our charges to a level which just covers our costs. Once a year you will receive a bill. These charges are verified by a consultant landscape architect.
If you have any complaints or comments please get in touch.
If you are thinking of buying a house in one of our managed estates, you should check with the seller’s solicitor that payments on their factoring account are up-to-date. Otherwise, you will become liable for the arrears of the seller. Ask your solicitor to contact us if there is any doubt.
