Why Homes Near Green Spaces Are So Valuable
In my years of working in London real estate, I’ve seen one thing remain consistent: properties near parks and garden squares are always in high demand. Whether it’s a new build apartment or a period home, they:
- Sell faster than similar homes without green space nearby
- Rent more easily to a wider range of tenants
- Often hold their value better over time
It’s no surprise — parks and garden squares add lifestyle appeal, create a sense of community, and offer a natural escape from the city’s fast pace.
My Top House-Hunting Tips for London Buyers
1. Keep an open mind
Your perfect property might not match the picture in your head. Sometimes, unexpected features, like green space, can become the thing you value most.
2. Stay in regular contact with your estate agent
Check in weekly! If your agent thinks of you first when a new listing comes on the market, you’re far less likely to miss out.
3. Be realistic about your budget and criteria
Ask your agent for honest feedback. This can open up more options in areas or property types you might not have considered.
4. Trust your instincts
At the end of the day, buying a home is as much about how it makes you feel as it is about the numbers. If you can picture yourself living there, that’s a strong sign it’s the right choice.
