BRING THE OUTSIDE IN
'A sunken garden with a fire-pit for adults plus a treehouse for children will attract buyers. Bi-fold doors leading onto the garden give the feeling of an extra reception room,' says Adam Hesse, of Aston Mead.
If you want something cheaper, increase light and minimise maintenance by removing trees that do not enhance the garden.
'Leylandii create excellent hedges but if they grow too tall, can block a huge amount of light. You can chop down fruit trees without consent, but check if you're in a conservation area,' says William Wells, of Mullock Wells.
COST: About £300 for tree-cutting, £15,000 for a modest garden redesign.
ADDED VALUE: Five to 10 per cent.

10% it was ten years ago , it should be 20% now due to house/investment prices :)
If a £360,000 house garden/driveway and outside is untidy it would knock £40,000 off realistic sale value, or same rental figure easily.
