Create a playground for your kids

Garden is an important factor for any property unless it’s a flat. Having a clear beautiful looking garden can increase your property value by 20 to 30%. Many people these days are using different ideas to decorate their garden to increase the price of the property in the market. Most people these days have swimming pools, swings, garden trampolines and other garden accessories which might be in an interest of the buyers.

I believe that this is a great idea and it will work. Another great idea would be to increase the size of your conservatory if you have enough room in your garden, then have an extra room located in it. Recently I had my conservatory rebuilt with one extra room and a toilet. Before it was a 2 bedroom house with one bathroom and one reception but now it is a 3 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms, 1 reception and a living room. Just one simple change which cost £2,500 has increased the value of my property from £120,000 to £160,000 even in this economy.

This is just one example, recently my Uncle built a play ground in his back garden which includes five swings, two 12ft trampolines with safety pads and safety nets, 5 benches and a water fountain. How could he afford it? He has been a Doctor for over 50 years so this wasn’t anything for him. His pension is more than my yearly salary, so just imagine how big his house is. I asked him why he built a playground, he replied: in few years he wants to sell this house and buy a small house for he and his wife but also mentioned if the house doesn’t sell he would like to open the back garden for his neighbourhood kids and also allow a nursery next to his house to use the play ground. What a great idea. He can get his money he spent on it by renting it to a school or a nursery so he won’t really be loosing anything. I am now thinking to add a 10ft trampoline for my garden and make it a playground for my kids.
