Does your garden add value to your property?
If the recent pandemic induced lockdowns have taught us anything at all, its that we should all appreciate much more what it means to be at home. More than ever before, our homes need to deliver a comfortable environment in which to live and work and socialize and relax.
There’s a financial incentive too. Whether or not property prices continue to rise, bricks and mortar are a solid investment choice and upgrading your home can be an excellent way to increase the value of the asset.
When it comes to making improvements, don’t forget the garden! The outside of your house can be just as important as the inside.
In fact, recent research (https://www.sold.co.uk/news/how-much-value-does-a-garden-add-to-your-house/) shows that a beautifully maintained garden can add up to 20% to the value of the property, with more than 2/3 of homebuyers prepared to pay more for a house with a garden. Of course, its not just the space you have but what you do with it that counts.
