London buyers pay premium for private garden space

Homebuyers in London receive just 23.6 square metres of garden space for every £100,000 spent on a property, according to new research by Eurocell. In prime central boroughs such as the City of London and Westminster, the figure drops dramatically - buyers get as little as 2.1 sq m and 4.4 sq m respectively. Even in leafier areas like Kensington and Chelsea, outdoor space comes at a premium, with 4.6 sq m per £100,000 despite 85% of houses having gardens. Hammersmith and Fulham fares slightly better, offering 7.6 sq m per £100,000, but still falls short of the national average. Separate data from Eurocell this month revealed that Aberdeen tops the list of UK cities for garden space value. Homebuyers there receive 161.8 sq m of garden per £100,000 spent.
