Three and four bed properties with south facing gardens were compared to non-south facing properties, for asking price and time to sell.
On average south facing gardens are priced £22,695 higher.
The largest asking price premium was 14%, recorded in Yorkshire and Humber while the smallest was 2%, in the South East.
The North West attracts the second highest price premium at a whopping 12%
Not only does a south facing garden achieve an asking price premium but they also sell quicker.
