A recent study carried out by Rightmove has found that homes listed as having a south-facing garden are priced, on average, £22,695 higher than those without, being a 7% national premium. As well as being worth more, these homes have also been found to sell faster. The study shows that they are likely to sell two days faster.
With many people now looking to move to a new house or relocate and choosing to enjoy a ‘staycation’, a south-facing garden may be high on their priority list when looking for a new home. This is good news for sellers with south-facing gardens and now may be the perfect time to tidy up the garden in preparation for sale.
