Gardens are integral to British life and are found in 97% of houses in Great Britain.


  • Garden size holds increasing importance, with many homeowners opting for garden offices as a way of expanding their living space to create dedicated ‘work from home’ areas.
  • Regional disparities in garden sizes are evident, with the South East boasting the largest average size at 422m², while London has the smallest at 201m².
  • Recent research highlights a substantial 39% price difference per square foot between homes with the largest and smallest gardens. This emphasises the value and desirability of generous outdoor spaces in today's market. Source: #Dataloft, ONS, Ordnance Survey (2020), Savills (2023)

The rental market is still growing, but the way properties are managed has changed. August is a useful time for landlords to review tenancies, rent processes and record-keeping.

Buyers have plenty to compare this autumn, which makes the way a home enters the market increasingly important. A strong first impression, realistic price and thoughtful presentation can all help attract the right attention.

A move often starts long before a property is officially listed. If selling within the next few months is becoming a realistic possibility, September is a good time to work out what needs to happen first.

August does not have to be a quiet month for your property search. With the right financial preparation and viewing strategy, summer buyers can uncover opportunities others may miss.
