Water Features Can Increase The Value When Selling Your House

By: Chelsea M Butterworth

1)Clean your outside space

Open out the outside space and increase the area by pruning back any overgrown area’s, make sure that when your potential purchasers arrive, the front garden space is empty of any children’s toys, cars, gardening waste, bulk waste and rubbish bags. You may be having a clear out as you are moving but prospective buyers don’t need to see it. It is mostly the men who notice how easily maintained the outside space is and having an unkempt or overgrown space can really effect the chance of a sale.

2)Add some colourful features

Where ever possible, make your space seem more pleasing to the eye by adding some floral decoration. A simple technique is to use some pots or maybe a hanging basket and place colourful beautiful flowers and for the time your house is being viewed it will add a certain appeal. Avoid heavily scented types of 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 house.

3)Using your border

The border of your space should also be well maintained depending on the size and shape of garden you have. If your property has a smaller outside space, camouflaging the boundaries with some climbing plants but not too large can make an improvement and it may be worth brightening the outside colour through painting. It can brighten the look of your home, but make sure the paint you use is light and works well with the overall look. If you have a fairly big garden, make a point of it, with clearly defined borders ensuring that all fencing is in good repair and freshly painted or any brickwork is perfect.

4)The entertainment space

If your outside space is looking good, use it to your advantage by creating a scene. Have a well maintained and stylish barbeque on show with chair and tables, as if you use the space to entertain and relax frequently, even if this is not something you would do most prospective purchasers are looking for the dream rather than the reality. If you have a viewing on a summery day, offer them a seat and any refreshment when they reach your garden and allow the sun to do the rest.

5)Water features

If the opportunity is there and you have some money then give the garden something special by adding a self contained water feature that is both beautiful and safe for children, it can make the tremendous feature that enables your house to be better than all of the others of equal price bracket.
