Melton Here at Professionals Ryder Real Estate, we understand that first impressions do count when selling your home. This means that the condition of your garden is crucial when putting your property on the market. We’ve decided to help you out by providing some tips on how to ensure your garden is ready!
Keep your garden low maintenance:
Whilst an extravagant garden may look pretty, most prospective buyers will view the garden as high maintenance. In saying this, we recommend keeping your gardens as minimalistic as possible, as you don’t want to push away purchasers who aren’t interested in a high maintenance garden. If the new owner enjoys gardening and would like to spend their spare time maintaining the front and back yards, they can then plant new trees etc once they’ve purchased the property.
Ensure the garden is kept clean and tidy:
It’s important to ensure that you clean up any debris that may make the garden look messy and untidy. Also ensure that your lawns are freshly mowed before an inspection, and that you’ve completed any weeding. The smallest parts of garden presentation can change the overall look of the front yard, giving prospective buyers a positive first impression.
Take care of pathways and walkways:
If you have any pathways in your garden (this may mean the walkway to your front door, or a small path in the backyard), it’s important to ensure that there are no plants or trees blocking the way. It’s also a good idea to use a high-pressure cleaner to wash down any dirty pavement. Prospective buyers will be taking notice of walkways, as this will be the first part of your property that they see.
Consider freshly laid turf:
If your yard is looking a bit muddy and dirty, it may be time to consider laying down turf. It’s a small price to pay, if it encourages prospective buyers to view your property. Freshly laid turf looks natural and can improve the yard in many different ways – it’s also incredibly low maintenance and this will be a sure way to attract possible buyers.
