Garden is an important factor for any house. Having a good looking garden can increase your house value by approx 15%. Many people these days are decorating their garden so that the value of the property increases in the market. Most people these days have swimming pools, swings, trampolines and other garden accessories which might be in an interest of the buyers.
During this economy period I think this is a brilliant idea. Another great idea would be to increase the size of your conservatory if you have enough room in your garden, then have an extra room located in it. I have recently done this and had conservatory increased with one extra room and a toilet. Before it was a two bedroom house with 1 bathroom, 1 living room and 1 reception but now it is a three bedroom house with two bathrooms, one reception, one conservatory and one living room. Just one simple change which cost £2,500 has increased the value of my property from £120,000 to £160,000 even in this economy.
This is just one example, you wouldn’t believe what my Uncle did in his garden, he built a play ground which includes five swings, two 12ft trampolines with safety nets and pads, 5 benches, a barbecue stand, few climbing toys for kids and a water fountain. How could he afford it? He has been in a medical field for over 50 years so obviously he can afford it. His pension is nearly double to what I get for my salary and I am an engineer for god sake, so just imagine how big his house is - I might as well call it a mansion. I asked him why he built a playground for and spend all this money, he gently replied: in few months he wants to move somewhere small with his wife, so he wants to either rent of sell this property as a house or as a nursery. What a great idea. He can even charge the nursery to use it so he won’t really be loosing anything. May be I can add a 10ft trampoline on to my garden and create a playground for my kids.
