At a time when property prices are soaring, the Mone Bros DIY team were interested to hear that a well designed and maintained garden can actually add value to your home – giving homeowners in the Yorkshire region optimism that all of their hard work is paying off.
At a time when the use of pesticides on our food is in question, we as a nation are starting to love our gardens again, with many Yorkshire homeowners in particular spending a lot of time working on their outdoors rather than inside of their home. And that is great to hear, as according to recent research by property experts, a well-maintained garden can add 20% to your property value, which comes in at £60k based on the current average UK house price.
But experts are recommending you keep your gardens simple – although vegetable patches and exotic flowers can look appealing, a lot of homeowners who aren’t in to gardening can be easily put off.
Here are our expert tips to getting your garden to a good place to add money to your home:
- Keep it low maintenance
- Ensure that your gardens are private with fences and gates
- Sheds or outbuildings are very appealing to homeowners now who are looking for additional living space or a place to work, with self-employment being so high
- Avoid things like swimming pools as they can scare people off with the up-keep
