Our Services
Sherwood Greene offers broad based real estate services and our range of customer focused services. These include property consultancy and research, property management, valuation and estate agency.
Property Consultancy and Research
Our team has been returned to provide consultancy and advice on a wide range of properties in Zambia and other countries in the region. The consultancy team has also been returned to carry out property searches, negotiations and acquisitions. This usually involves negotiations with property owners, the City Councils and in some cases the Ministry of Lands. Some of the most prominent projects include a site search for the Department of State of United States of America (site search included properties in Lusaka and Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo). Another acquisition exercise was conducted on behalf of Plessey Limited to acquire sites used for cellular masts for Zain Zambia.
Our team is also returned to provide research on property markets throughout the region. These research exercises normally involve proving information on valuation trends and general property activity meant to give the client an understanding on markets, on which they can make well informed decisions. We have done several researches for commercial banks in Zambia, the information is then used in the assessment of property values provided by borrowers.
Property Valuations
Since we commenced business, the valuation team has been retained to value a wide variety of fixed property assets and chattels for various purposes. These include for sale and/or acquisition purposes, for loan collateral purposes, for probate, insurance and for the purposes of balance sheet/company accounts.
Where applicable, our valuations are set out in accordance with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, London, UK, ?Appraisal and Valuation Manual (1995)?, as approved by the Surveyors? Institute of Zambia.
We act for private and public companies, government and international agencies, banks and insurance companies, trusts, pension funds and private individuals.
Estate Agency
Sherwood Greene offers a full range of property disposal services of all types of commercial, industrial, residential and agricultural properties. The service includes the marketing of the property and negotiations with purchasers.
Once instructed we find it useful to advise the client on the marketing aspects (advantages and disadvantages), the optimum price and recommendations for marketing campaign. For larger projects we will carry out a feasibility study.
We also have an "in house" list of property enquiries, which can be matched with properties for sale. Depending on the nature of the premises we may also run an advertising campaign, erect a For Sale or For Rent board, target potential companies and prepare a brochure or set of particulars for the premises setting out details such as description, location, areas, specification, services, price etc.
Property Management
We categorise property management function in the the following three areas;
Financial Management
Timely and accurate reporting is of first importance, as it is fundamental to the understanding of both parties - Landlord and Occupiers equally. Understanding the importance of this function, we have ensured the department is correctly resourced.
Administrative Management
The management role extends from liaison with the Landlord and Occupiers to ensure all parties understand agree and adhere to covenants and conditions relating to the occupation of the building. We will ensure that all Tenants moving into the property will sign formal Leases under which their occupation will be governed. Sherwood Greene will coordinate with your lawyers to ensure that the terms of the lease fully protect the Landlord?s position and maximise the investment value of the property.
Physical Management
Standards at any property are critical to occupational levels and a building?s status within the market as a prime address and investment. Sherwood Greene will monitor and control the services provided, including cleaning, maintenance and security, while providing pro-active advice relating to future investment in the building to maintain high occupational standards and the prestige of the address.
