When trying to sell your home, the appeal of your garden can
often be overlooked. But a new study has shown just how important a garden can
be to potential buyer.
Research has shown that when it comes to moving house, two
fifths of people living in the UK would refuse to even consider a home unless
it had a decent garden and one in seven home owners claim that simple garden
improvements have added value to their property.
If you are trying and struggling to sell your property, here
are a few ways that you can add more value through your garden:
- Reduce clutter and simplify the space, which will make your garden look larger
- Conceal unsightly items such as wheelie bins
- Remove all weeds
- Mow your lawn and trim the edges. Neat grass always looks appealing and the smell of fresh cut grass is delightful
- Address any long term problems before you put your house on the market
- Check that your garden furniture is all in good condition. Even if you aren’t planning on leaving this behind, potential buyers will be able to think about where their own items will go.
