Can my garden really affect the value of my house?
If you’ve ever spent time window-shopping on Rightmove, you’ll find that one of the common features of houses with high asking prices is a pleasing garden.
Although the team at The Yorkshire Country Gardener believe the primary reason for landscaping your garden should be for your own happiness and well-being, a garden transformation could also add tens of thousands onto the value of your house. With the property market currently booming, home owners are quickly realising that focusing on their garden could offer greater returns than the likes of an extension or loft conversion.
Post Office Money: “A great looking garden can really make all the difference when selling your house, not only in the minds of any buyers but in terms of it valuation – the Post Office Money study found that shelling out around £2,750 on garden landscaping can add a whopping 77% onto the value of your house.”
