Plants that can add value to your property

Gardens and planting can, without doubt add value to property, and certainly helps push them to the higher end of the price band. We are keen gardeners and having sold our property in South Norwich two years ago, the surveyor, estate agent and purchaser all commented on the garden. The buyer infact spent more time in the garden than viewing the house. An established garden definitely adds value to the property, and when we sold, we acheived 5% over what the agent said to list for, acheiving £925,000 instead of £880,000.

Strategic planting can boost your property's value in the UK. Some plants are generally considered to be more desirable by potential buyers, and these can add thousands of pounds to the value of your home. For example:
Established trees: A mature oak can add up to £5,000. They provide shade, privacy, and a touch of grandeur.
Landscaped beds: Lush flower beds bursting with colour create a welcoming atmosphere and can add £1,500.
Well-maintained hedges: A neatly trimmed hedge improves privacy and defines boundaries, potentially increasing value by £2,000.
Wisteria is a popular choice for adding a touch of romance and charm to a property, and can add up to £10,000 to the value of a home .
These are estimates, and the actual impact depends on the property, maturity of the plants, and overall landscaping design. But strategically chosen plants can definitely enhance your home's appeal to buyers.

Can't buy happiness, but wisteria might fetch £10k! Plants like magnolias & fruit trees add value with a touch of luxury or practicality. Don't forget curb appeal classics like roses & hydrangeas. Clever planting with climbers, lavender & perennials creates a budget-friendly wow factor. Remember, a well-maintained garden is key!

It's all about that curb appeal and how functional your garden is as an extension of your living space. Nowadays, gardens aren't just patches of greenery. They're becoming additional family and social rooms. From cozy seating areas to outdoor kitchens, people are transforming their outdoor spaces into practical and inviting areas for relaxation and entertainment. By maximising the potential of your outdoor oasis, you're not just creating a space for enjoyment but also adding value to your home, essentially treating it as an additional room. It's a smart investment in both lifestyle and property value.
