1. Blossom
The first thing an agent is going to put in a street’s description, if it applies, is “tree-lined”, and it is what every buyer is after, provided there are not so many tall trees that they block out the light, says Simon King, the managing director of the Move with Us property company. “Trees planted along streets in urban areas and parks improve life for people living in a city. Apart from being attractive and creating a nice view, they help improve air quality.”
Even better are flowering trees. “Tree-lined streets are the first thing that attract a buyer and add value to a street,” says Carol Peett, of West Wales Property Finders. “If you show someone a house in April or May when cherry trees are in blossom or a magnolia in full bloom, they immediately fall in love with it as it conveys the impression of affluence, friendliness and safety.”
