How garden design adds value to your house

Add value to your house renovation with an outdoor entertaining space

In a slow moving London property market, attracting attention to your house is vital if you wish to sell.  Employing an expert landscape designer to design your London garden is an investment in your home, one which should help you to achieve a quicker sale and increase the value of your house in several ways.

Kerb Appeal

A well-designed garden really enhances the overall appearance of your property, creating an attractive first impression for potential buyers in the future, should you decide to sell your home.  Kerb appeal plays a significant role in attracting attention and positively influencing property value.

Extended Living Spaces

Thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces, such as patios, decks or garden seating areas, effectively extend the usable living space of your home. Prospective buyers often appreciate the opportunity for outdoor living, contributing to the property's overall appeal.

Functional Landscaping design

Incorporating functional elements like edible gardens, hedges to create privacy and well-planned pathways adds practical value to your property. Home buyers are attracted to landscapes that are both functional and beautiful.

Year-Round garden Appeal

An expert garden designer will take into account seasonal changes, to ensure that your garden is practical and interesting throughout the year. Many bespoke pergolas come equipped with heating and lighting, allowing you to sit in the garden even in the colder weather. Similarly, well planned and designed planting offers structure and focal points throughout the year. This year round interest means that your garden space is desirable in any season which adds appeal and lasting value to your property.

Low-Maintenance Garden Features

A well-designed garden often includes low-maintenance features, so reducing the necessary upkeep for the new homeowners. This can be a great selling point for prospective buyers who are looking for an attractive outdoor space, which is also manageable if they have a busy lifestyle.

Garden Water Features and Lighting

Having a garden lighting scheme or water features included in your garden design creates a sense of tranquility and luxury, factors which can positively impact the value of your property.  Prospective buyers may also be attracted by the possibility of using the garden as an evening entertaining space.

Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Practices

With a growing emphasis on sustainability, a garden designed with eco-friendly practices, such as native plants, efficient irrigation, and environmentally conscious choices, will attract buyers who prioritise green living.

Market Trends and Demand

Designing your garden with popular trends in mind, such as the demand for outdoor living spaces and sustainable features, can also mean that your property is more desirable.  This can potentially leading to a higher resale value.

So, by investing in a professional garden design expert, you're not just enhancing the beauty of your property for your own family.  You are also making a strategic investment which will appeal to potential prospective buyers and so contribute to an increase in the overall value of your house.
