BOOSTING YOUR HOUSE VALUE

When putting your house on the market you’ll want to achieve the maximum value. Making sure the outside space has a practical and attractive driveway and garden can increase the value of your property anywhere between 5 – 20%.

An effectively designed, well presented driveway and garden can be the make or break of a sale and poor parking facilities are often a reason for moving in the first place. Estate agent’s will list a well-maintained drive and garden as features when promoting a property, boosting your chances of guaranteeing top price in house sale negotiations.

The façade of your property is the first thing your prospective purchaser’s encounter. Quite often buyers will drive by the property to see if it meets their expectations before considering booking a viewing. Therefore, the wow factor is very important when you’re selling, a good quality driveway or patio will clinch the deal.

In hectic modern lives, maintaining lots of green space is impractical. Buyers still want to see an attractive outdoor space that can be used throughout the year, therefore opting to pave some or most of your garden is the solution.

Landlords and homeowners hoping to sell may prefer to add a patio so that areas can be easily maintained and then personalised by adding temporary finishing touches like potted plants and garden furniture.
