1)Tidy your outside space

Clear out the space and increase the area by trimming back any unruly area’s, ensure that when your potential purchasers arrive, the front garden space is cleared of any waste collection, toys, cars and all gardening waste. You may be having a clear out as you are moving but prospective buyers don’t need to see it. It is usually men who recognise how easily maintained the garden space is and having any excessive or overgrown space can really effect the chance of a sale.

2)Add some colour

When ever appropriate, make your space seem more pleasing to the eye by adding some floral decoration. A simple touch is to use a set of pots or maybe a hanging basket and plant colourful healthy looking plants and for the time your house is being viewed it will add a certain appeal. Avoid heavily scented plants as this can be quite personal and the wrong smell could leave a bad lasting impression. The best part of pots or baskets is they wont cost you too much and you can take them to a new property.

3)Edging the space

The border of your space should also be well maintained depending upon the type of space you have. If your property has less outside space, blurring the boundaries with some potted plants but not too large can make an improvement and in some cases lightening the walls with paint. It can brighten the space, but ensure the chosen paint is non offensive and works well with the overall look. If your garden is on the larger side, show it off, with clearly defined edging ensuring that all fencing is well repaired and freshly painted or any brickwork is perfect.

4)The entertainment space

If your outside space is looking good, make it work for you by creating a scene. Have a well maintained and stylish barbeque on show with garden furniture set out, as if you use the space all the time to host parties, even if this is not something you would do most potential purchasers are looking for the dream rather than the reality. If you have the benefit of sunshine, offer them a seat and any refreshment when they reach your garden and allow the sun to do the rest.

5)Add a water feature

If you feel something is missing and money is not really a problem then make a real impression by adding a designer water feature that is both beautiful and child friendly, it can make the tremendous feature that means your property streaks ahead of the others of equal price area.
