Putting our end terrace house on the market in the next couple of weeks - houses like ours in this area are selling and we can be realistic about the price.
Inside tidy, new modern kitchen and bathroom, recently decorated, neutral carpets/laminate, double glazing, central heating, major declutter etc. etc. Front garden is tidy with lawn and planted beds and there are 2 parking spaces.
Back garden is only partially done though. The garden is a L shape, wider then the house and continues down the side. There is a private seating area in the side area with a table and planted beds, there is also a shed (which is staying) tucked away in a corner.
Across the back of the house is a gravel area the width of the garden which has another seating area outside the kitchen doors.
The issue is beyond this gravel area - the last 20' of the garden (where most people would expect a lawn) is just bare soil as we had to totally dig it over as majorly overgrown, we are having a bit of nightmare finding someone to come and lay turf (not realistic for us to do).
Would you consider a house that didn't have a lawn but had an obvious space for one to be laid or would you think it too much work? We could spread bark and plant a few shrubs in the area but wonder if this would also put people off.
We want to get the house of the market asap to try and get it sold before Christmas but obviously are coming to the end of the time for turf laying
TIA for any help/advice
