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)

If moving is starting to feel more realistic, September is a useful time to prepare. Understanding your budget, priorities and local property search now could make things much easier when the right home appears.

Autumn activity is returning to the property market, but affordability continues to shape decisions. We look at the latest prices, buyer demand, mortgage figures and what they mean for movers.

Today marks a truly special occasion for us at Sure Sales & Lettings: our 23rd anniversary! We're incredibly proud of this milestone and want to extend our sincerest gratitude to everyone who has been a part of our journey.

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.
