Garden size and house value

53 replies

We have a large 3 bedroomed house with a small garden-think patch of grass-enough for the kids to have a little slide and swing.
Plus a decking area-big enough for table and 4 chairs.

I have been given the opportunity to buy some additional land at the bottom of my garden, which would make my garden 4+ times the size, changing my small garden to a large garden.

Does the size of a garden really increase the house value?

I'd love a bigger garden, but I'm not sure if its really worth the money as we only plan to stay here 3-5 years.

If you've recently had it valued just call the agent and ask them how much it would increase the value. I'd do it if I could afford it sounds like a great opportunity

Definately buy it!!! In addition to making your garden much more attractive to buyers (and better for you/your dcs whilst you live there) it ensures you retain control of what happens on that land (if someone else buys it they could build on it).

Sounds like a great deal! I’d go for it
