1)Keep your outside space clean

Widen the space and expand the area by pruning back any unruly area’s, make sure that when your potential purchasers arrive, the front of the house is empty 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 mostly the men who recognise how easy the work in the garden is and having any excessive or overgrown space can really effect the chance of a sale.

2)Make it brighter

Where you can, make your outside living space seem appealing by adding some flowers. A simple idea is to use a set of pots or maybe a hanging basket and place colourful bright plants and for the time your house is being viewed it will be appealing. Do not use heavily scented flowers as this can be quite personal and the wrong flower could leave a negative lasting impression. A real benefit of pots or baskets is they wont cost you too much and you can always move them with you to a new house.

3)Edging the space

The border of your space should also be well maintained depending upon the type of space you have. If your house has less outside space, camouflaging the borders with some potted plants but not too large can elude the eye to the size and it may be worth painting the walls a lighter colour. It can brighten the look of your home, but make sure the paint you use is light and in keeping with the overall look. If your garden is on the larger side, show it off, with clearly defined edging making sure that all fencing looks in good repair and newly painted or any brickwork is perfect.

4)The entertainment space

If your garden is in general good repair and has the space, take it over the edge by creating a scene. Have a well maintained and stylish barbeque in clear view with garden furniture set out, as if you use the space to entertain and relax frequently, even if this is not something you would do most likely purchasers can be sold by the idea of something rather than the reality. If you’re showing on a day that’s bright and sunny, maximise the effect by offering refreshment when they reach the back garden and invite them to sit and make themselves at home.

5)Water features

If you have the chance and you have the funding then make a real impression by adding a self contained water feature that is both beautiful and safe for children, it can make the tremendous feature that puts your property ahead of the others in the same price range.
