Weed It & Reap
Weed It & Reap
Selling a house is never easy. In today's competitive marketplace, it has to stand out from the pack. And, increasingly, it's the outdoor room - the garden - that's clinching that sale.
Co-presented by the nation's freshest garden recruit, Sven Wombwell and property specialist Michael Holmes, Weed It & Reap is the first series to show how a garden makeover alone can help sell property faster - and for a better price.
Kerb Appeal
Each episode, Sven and Michael visit a different property that, whether big or small, urban or rural, are all on the market but have so far failed to sell. The one thing they all have in common is the state of their front or back garden; some are derelict urban jungles, but many of them are just too 'individual' for a general buyer. In short, their homes are lacking 'Kerb Appeal', that all-important first impression a potential buyer gets when approaching a property.
Mass Appeal
Every week, our dynamic duo identify what aspect of a particular garden is letting the property down. It may be, for instance, that Michael earmarks the tiny, scrappy and threadbare front lawn. So, Sven vows to replace it with some stylish blue slate chips. Or what about that odd assortment of broken and chipped pots by the front door? Sven's answer is a large, blue-glazed urn, filled with fragrant herbs. The key in all cases is to de-clutter, streamline and give the garden mass appeal.
Crammed with quick and practical advice on how to change an outside space with minimum cost and maximum effect, Weed It & Reap is required viewing for anyone thinking of selling their home. And even for those who aren't moving, there are still plenty of inspirational ideas on how to restyle your favourite space.
