What buyers are looking for

A survey from LRG has revealed the three most influential factors when buying a property, excluding price and location.

Updated kitchens and bathrooms were the important features, with 77% of respondents citing these as key influencers. Meanwhile, an attractive garden (55%) was more favourable than exterior presentation (23%), suggesting that kerb appeal is currently less of a priority among buyers. But presentation inside the home does seem to matter, with 49% of respondents citing cleanliness as a key influence. Bold interior colour schemes were the bottom of the priority list, with only 4% looking for this in a potential home. Kevin Shaw at LRG commented, “Buyers are clearly telling us that a spotless, well-maintained property can be highly persuasive.”
