Does a nice garden add value to your home?

Mone Bros DIY team were interested to hear that a well designed and maintained garden can actually add value to your home.

At a time when property prices are soaring, the Mone Bros DIY team were interested to hear that a well designed and maintained garden can actually add value to your home – giving homeowners in the Yorkshire region optimism that all of their hard work is paying off.

At a time when the use of pesticides on our food is in question, we as a nation are starting to love our gardens again, with many Yorkshire homeowners in particular spending a lot of time working on their outdoors rather than inside of their home. And that is great to hear, as according to recent research by property experts, a well-maintained garden can add 20% to your property value, which comes in at £60k based on the current average UK house price. 

But experts are recommending you keep your gardens simple – although vegetable patches and exotic flowers can look appealing, a lot of homeowners who aren’t in to gardening can be easily put off.

Here are our expert tips to getting your garden to a good place to add money to your home:

-          Keep it low maintenance

-          Ensure that your gardens are private with fences and gates

-          Sheds or outbuildings are very appealing to homeowners now who are looking for additional living space or a place to work, with self-employment being so high

-          Avoid things like swimming pools as they can scare people off with the up-keep
