In the recent depression of housing value it appears that getting the right price is more important than even. Most advise available states that making the most of the property we own will increase chances of selling, but it is now crucial to add those extra thousands on the asking price that could make a difference between a profit and a loss for the seller. A London based estate agent, of Lane Fox’s Basingstoke office, states "a well looked after, decent sized garden can add between 10 and 15 percent value to your home."
Initial Impressions are of great important and having an immaculate outside space to welcome your prospective investor is crucial. If you were looking at your property from outside, what does it say about you? There is supposedly a gender divide about what would stop you purchasing a property, females tend to be put off by the appearance of the building but it is gentlemen who take on board the state of the front garden and can be perturbed by a untidy garden.
The property editor of a national newspaper, states redesigning your garden is not always needed, some minor adjustments can make all the difference to the appeal of your outside living space however with a possible increase between 10-15 per cent to think of it is a great investment if you are potentially selling your property.
Tidying and maintaining the outside space is vital, keeping lawns trimmed, drive ways swept and cleared of any clutter including your car where possible and adding a tasteful array of colour through flowers can be inviting to prospective buyers. Boarders and fencing can also put off potential buyers so refreshing paint work and checking panels are in the best possible condition.
The back garden as clichéd as it has become is all about showing off an entertainment space and creating a space to relax and unwind. The same general touches apply in the back, that well maintained fencing, lawns, plants and areas of colour can be a massive selling point. You should also try to dress the garden for entertainment, set out your garden furniture and offer refreshment whilst the buyers are outside.
Amending your property by, installing a calming water feature can really make your garden outstanding and has something special to offer as a further ‘room’ of the house. Ensure it’s dressed with seating and flowers and it can really build the calming influence that most home owners are looking for in a property.
For house owners with little outside space there is always something to be done to develop what is there, flower tubs with jasmine, lavender or scented flowers will leave an impact on the mind as well as the eye. The important thing there is to not litter and keep tidy any space you do have to present to likely buyers.
