The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) estimates that an attractive
garden can add at least 5% to the property value, i.e. a property valued
at £400,000 could increase in value by £20,000, and its appeal
will increase as the planting becomes more established.
The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) has identified that
gardens are one of the most important considerations for the majority
of house buyers. From first time buyers to the retired, the garden
can be a critical factor in clinching the sale.
A well designed garden can become as much a part of your living space as the kitchen or lounge, an additional room. It can be a place for entertaining, an area in which to relax and contemplate life. It can be an opportunity to let your individuality run riot. It can be fun, for children of all ages!
