"We asked the experts how much of an impact outdoor spaces have on property value"
"When it comes to property purchases, buyers spend a lot of time thinking about the neighbourhood the house is in, its BER, maybe the square footage."
"What sits behind it can often be an afterthought, but it's worth paying attention to because it might be worth more - or less - than you think."
Buyers commonly prioritize neighbourhood, BER rating, and square footage when evaluating properties. Rear outdoor areas frequently receive less scrutiny during purchase decisions. Backyard and garden quality can materially affect a property's market value, positively or negatively. Factors such as size, landscaping, privacy, drainage, sunlight exposure, usable entertaining space, maintenance demands, and potential for extensions or landscaping improvements influence buyer perception and price. Local market preferences and planning rules also shape how much value outdoor spaces add. Careful assessment and investment in functional, well-maintained outdoor areas can improve marketability and resale outcomes.
