Gardens are a fantastic extension of your living space so making the most of them, to show off to potential buyers, is an important step in preparing your home to sell. Whether you’ve got a huge lawned garden or low maintenance patio, there’s plenty that can be done to present it at its best.
Preparing your garden ready for Spring may mean filling the flower beds, painting the fences or trimming the hedges but there is much more that can be looked at so that your garden provides everything a buyer wants. Setting up well positioned benches, which enjoy the morning sun, or a table and chairs for evening entertainment offers an ideal extension of the living space.
Garden rooms that are presented as a home office or gym also provide an additional living area separate from the property, and can be a real plus for buyers looking for a property with flexibility.
Making your front garden an inviting outdoor space is equally as important, irrespective of its size, as the first impression really does count. Tidying up any footpaths, setting up some window boxes full of flowers to add colour and vibrancy and hiding the bins are all great ways to present your front garden at its best! Adding some outdoor furniture too can also highlight that the sunshine catches all sides of your home.
Town centre properties with balconies or small yards can also benefit from some sprucing up as outside space in a town centre is a real positive for buyers on the lookout for a home that offers amenities on its doorstep.
No matter what garden space your property offers, your buyers will want to see it’s full potential.
