The outside of your property is so important when selling a property. Whether its the front approach or the garden both can play an significant feature when trying to secure a sale on your property.
When the prospective purchaser arrives at your property the first thing they see is the front garden or the front of your property, so as people often say first impressions count. Its very true, people still judge a book by its cover. When marketing your property its important to stand back and think about its "Kerb Appeal".
We would suggest making sure the front of your property is clean and tidy, free from rubbish and any clutter, also making sure hedges and foliage is trimmed back, grass is cut and dead plants and weeds have been removed. Pot tubs are planted with colourful vibrant flowers and its important to make sure front gates/fences are painted and fixed if required. You really don't want the first thing seen by a buyer to be your unloved frontage and garden area. Before they have entered the property buyers will already be considering what they will expect inside.
When it comes to the main garden, buyers love some outside space. Whether it be for children to play, growing vegetables or even just a space to relax with a glass of wine after work. Even if you have the smallest area of garden adding a few containers with seasonal plants can help add a splash of colour, while hanging baskets add to exterior walls or fences.
Lawn is always seen as the most desirable for house hunters with patio now fast becoming a close second. As I have stated previously it is also important to make sure this lawn is prepared for sale, making sure its cut regularly and weeds are removed. It is also important to make sure your boundaries are secure and any broken fencing panels are fixed or replaced.
When taking photos of your garden make sure you take some decent photographs, using a bright sunny day to show off your garden.
