Selling Your House With A Garden Design From The GardenAdvice Team.
Although improving your garden in itself does not improve your properties value it has been proven by research to help sell your house in a short period of time and help you achieve the asking price for the property.
First impressions count, whether its a possible purchaser viewing your property by a viewing visit or seeing pictures of your property on the internet for the first time. A well designed garden can add the “wow factor” to any house increasing its impact and making it stand out within a group of other houses for sale within the same area and price range.
The GardenAdvice team have produced a number of short points for you to follow in producing a garden that will help sell your property
- First set a time period when you are likely to place your house on the market. This will allow you to use a number of plants that will be at their most colourful then your property is for sale increasing your properties impact.
- Garden Shapes and views – If you have a narrow garden or L Shaped garden by splitting it into different areas and introducing pergolas or archways it possible to give the garden the look of a far larger garden than it actually is.
- Consider your buyers – think about your possible buyers, if the property is in an area with good schools it might be worth focusing some of the garden on a child friendly water feature or if the property is in a coastal area popular with retired people it might be worth installing a ramp in place of some existing steps
- See what other property styles are selling in your area. If modern looking house are selling in your area you can create a modern looking garden with pots and structured plants such as grasses and evergreen plants such as skimmia japonica
- Lawns – a great way to add life to a garden is to relay a lawn using first class turf and mulch the beds around the lawn with bark mulch to set off the new lawn.
- Drives – Old tarmac drives can be treated with a tarmac restorer paint and brick paving drives can be re-sealed in both cases this will improve the look of a drive and provide a new look
- Scented plants – using mildly scented plants near your front door such as sweet peas is a great way to make a favorable first impression.
