Absolutely. Not only does a professionally landscaped garden enhance your property’s allure, but it can also increase its value and marketability should you decide to sell.
A thoughtfully designed garden has the potential to boost your home’s value by 10-15%. Conversely, a poorly maintained garden can deter potential buyers.
This sentiment is echoed by home insurance specialist Saga. Their commissioned survey found that 8 out of 10 Britons invest in their gardens to elevate their home’s worth. Moreover, a staggering 82% of Britons consider the garden the most crucial feature when house-hunting.
Big Impact on Property Prices
According to Andrew Goodsell, Saga’s Chief Executive, “The impact a garden has on property prices and emotional fulfilment can never be underestimated, whether you’re enhancing curb appeal for sale preparation or enriching your living space purely for pleasure.”
As for how much to invest, it ultimately depends on your budget and circumstances. However, allocating around 10% of your property’s value is generally a prudent investment.
Regardless of your budget size, ensuring your investment is well-spent is paramount. Engaging the services of a professional garden designer is a wise move. Garden design is about creating cohesive, functional spaces that align with your desires while seamlessly connecting your home to its surroundings.
