A recent study revealed that homes with a south facing garden achieve a 7% asking price premium and on average sell 2 days faster.
Three and four bed properties with south facing gardens were compared to non-south facing properties, for asking price and time to sell. On average south facing gardens are priced £22,695 higher.
The largest asking price premium was 14%, recorded in Yorkshire and Humber while the smallest was 2%, in the South East.
