Making The Most of Your Outdoor Space – A Great Way To Attract Buyers
Over the last 7 months, most of us have been more grateful for any outdoor space our house has than ever. Even though the weather is turning and we might not be able to have lavish BBQs in the garden, outdoor space is a definite plus point for anyone searching for a property.
Making The Most of Your Outdoor Space – A Great Way To Attract Buyers
Over the last 7 months, most of us have been more grateful for any outdoor space our house has than ever. Even though the weather is turning and we might not be able to have lavish BBQs in the garden, outdoor space is a definite plus point for anyone searching for a property.
Everyone is aware that we’re in ever-changing times and this has people keen for outdoor space they can access even if we enter a second lockdown. If you have any sort of outdoor space attached to your property, taking steps to make the most of this can help you sell your home for more money and help you attract the right buyer even quicker.
Outdoor Patio
If you have space then a paved or decked area of your garden always goes down well. This means that people can go and stand in the garden, even if the grass is wet without fear of coming back inside with soggy shoes. A solid area for people to be able to socialise on is always a good start and something we would recommend if you have space.
Covering Up The Area
We have weather than can change in the blink of an eye, so it is best to be prepared for all eventualities! A covered area or some sort of covering that can be easily put in place if needed is a worthwhile investment. Lots of people have family members that are still vulnerable and we might even reach times where we can’t enter people’s houses for a time. By ensuring that there is a covered area in the garden you give everyone the best possible chance of being able to visit, without the fear of being rained on!
Making It Look Good
The way any part of your property looks is important if you’re selling and want to get the best possible price. There are so many ways that you can make a garden look pretty and you don’t even have to break the bank doing them. Much like inside of the house, ensuring the area is clutter-free is a great start. If you have any wood fences or sheds, a fresh coat of paint can help these out too. You can invest in cute signs, fairy lights, plant pots and even nice cushions for your seating – all of which helps to make the whole area look inviting and homely, great for attracting the attention of potential buyers.
A Little Extra
Of course, if you’re feeling adventurous you can always do more. Garden pubs, covered BBQ areas, pizza ovens, hot tubs and children’s play areas can all be great additions to a garden if you have enough space. There’s lots of inspiration online so a browse of Google would help if you’re struggling with ideas on what to do.
The Practical Side of Things
We are reaching cold weather so it could be the time to invest in a patio heater, especially if you want to make use of the outdoor area yourself before you move. These work really well at keeping a small area warm, so you’ll be thankful if you’re outside and you have been sensible enough to invest in one of these.
